Mark sits down with Dusty, owner-operator of the 80-foot Viking Surf Bum and leader of one of the most talked-about all-female crews in big-game fishing. Dusty and her team ran hard this season, making the long push from Palm Beach through the Bahamas and up the eastern seaboard to Ocean City. Along the way, they built real momentum, earned respect inside the SFC, and showed that an all-lady team can hang with anybody on the water.In this episode, Dusty breaks down how she got into Fishing, how the crew came together, what it’s like fishing against top teams, and why she’s committed to helping more women step into the sport. She walks through the learning curve, the long runs, the dock-party culture, and the friendships that built this season into her best one yet.Whether you follow the SFC, love marlin stories, or just enjoy seeing people chase something they care about, this is a good one. Check out the New York Granders and the Surf Bum crew as they roll into the offseason and start stacking fish for next year.Check out the New York Granders:   / nygranders  SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSBloody Battery: https://www.bloodybattery.comShady Rays: https://www.shadyrays.com (use code SCIENCE for 35% off)E-Sea Rider Marine Bean Bags: https://www.eseaerider.comREEL IN SOME MERCHShop official Science of Fishing gear: https://www.thescienceoffishing.com/m...JOIN THE COMMUNITYQuestions, guest requests, or ideas?Email Mark: markfarag@thescienceoffishing.comFOLLOW SCIENCE OF FISHINGInstagram:   / scienceoffishing  TikTok:   / scienceoffishing  Facebook:   / scienceoffishing  Twitter/X:   / scienceoffish
