We sit down with fisherman, conservationist, and marine artist Marty Wilson to talk about the Croaker Classic — a fishing tournament built for families, fun, and Gulf Coast tradition.
We also dive into:
– Marty’s creative journey from T-shirt airbrushing to large-scale murals
– His father’s legacy as an SR-71 pilot and how it inspired his love of the water
– The role of conservation in his art, including DMR’s “Return 'Em Right” program
– What’s new at this year’s Croaker Classic
This episode blends passion, paint, and plenty of saltwater.
