Chasing Shadows

Chasing Shadows is the story of Bryan Huskey and his attempt to catch what he calls his first “respectable” roosterfish from the beaches of Baja. Huskey’s bad luck and determination to catch a rooster the hardest way possible has turned this already difficult objective into a sweat-drenched saga spanning years and multiple trips to the Sea of Cortez. Looming over this quest is Huskey's complicated relationship with his Father, another dedicated angler who spent years patrolling the same beaches hunting for roosterfish.

Big thanks to Huskey, and his wife Ali, for letting us tag along to Baja and record the story of his highs and lows chasing roosterfish.
