Dave Ferrell has traveled the world’s oceans during his 17-year history with Marlin magazine, conveying the beauty and excitement of big-game fishing through his writing and photography.

He is a third-generation Florida native and a graduate of the University of Central Florida with a degree in journalism. He left his position at Sport Fishing magazine four years ago to focus his attention on Marlin full time, and although he still likes to chase the odd snook or redfish in the skinny water, his true love lies in the pursuit of blue-water big game.
