In this special episode of the Connected By Water podcast, we welcome back a familiar face to the show Jack Vitek, now Editor-In-Chief of Marlin Magazine. Jack’s no stranger here—he previously joined us representing the IGFA. This time, he shares what it’s been like transitioning to lead one of the most respected publications in the sportfishing world.
We dive into the impact Marlin Magazine continues to have as a trusted media authority in offshore and big game fishing, and how it’s more than just a magazine—it’s a voice for the entire industry. Jack breaks down how Marlin strives to create content with lasting influence, celebrating the sport while advocating for science, conservation, and sustainability.
We also chat about:
• Jack’s recent trip to New Zealand
• The launch of the all-new Hawaii Marlin Tournament Series
• Marlin’s exciting Global Challenge
• Their coverage of critical issues like the SHARKED Act and Highly Migratory Species Amendment 15
From thought-provoking editorials to bracket-style fun like Marlin Madness, Jack gives us a behind-the-scenes look at how Marlin Magazine continues to shape the future of sportfishing while honoring its legacy.
