Giveaway: “Fish The World” Sweatshirt
UPDATE – Congratulations to Alex Teixeira, winner of the “Fish The World” giveaway!
Hardcore fishermen Maegan Hobe and her husband Chris were brainstorming tattoo designs when — trying to think up a more positive take on the acronym “F.T.W.” – Maegan came up with the phrase “Fish The World.” Chris immediately realized they had something more than just a tag line for the tattoo that now decorates his arm. Owners of the Salty Dog T-shirt store on Block Island for 15 years, they thought the edgy phrase would strike a chord with fishermen who have a little more attitude than the button-up, neat and proper types — and they were right. T-shirts, sweatshirts, hats and accessories with the “Fish The World” slogan and accompanying hard-core artwork have been selling out from local shops in the Northeast and shipping fast from their website.
So what does “Fish The World” mean to Chris, who spends 3 seasons on Block Island and winter in the Florida Keys?
“From striper fishing up north to mahi fishing down south — surfcasting from the beach or chasing them from a boat – going offshore to blue water or staying inshore or in the back country — whenever you can get it, just as long as you’re out there,” he explains.

For a chance to win a Fish The World hooded sweatshirt, comment below with your answer to this question: If you could fish anywhere in the world for one day, where would it be?
I have to say Costa Rica. The diversity that they have down there for fish is just unbelievable. Such an amazing bottom, inshore and offshore fishery.
The rip off Montauk N.Y. One knows what is there but can always hope for the trophy of a lifetime. No need to leave the states.
The Amazon River! Crazy fishing and a chance of being eaten alive rolled into one!
Anegada- British Virgin Islands, West indies.
Remote and unspoiled .,Bonefish the shallows, big game the next day offshore !,
End the day with a native rum punch !
I would give my left arm to fish in Alaska !!
the waters off New Zealand
I would fish the waters of the Florida Keys
Australia. Almost doesn’t matter what I’d be fishing for. Because I’d be in Australia!
Alaska is on the bucket list!
Block Island will always be my favorite!!
Cabo san lucas, catching yellowfin a half mile offshore by kayak.
My dream fishing vacation would be wadding or boating the Flats along the Florida Keys and my one day would be casting for Tarpon in the shallows.
Alaska for Halibut
I would say Costa Rica. The videos from the Penn trip looked amazing.
Without a doubt, fishing Ambergris Caye in Belize would constitute my ultimate one day fishing location.
Gulf of Mexico for stand up yellowfin action
Since I’ve never had the chance, I would fish Belize.
I saw a show on Peacock Bass fishing and would like to go to either Northern Brazil on the Rio Negrl or southern Venezuela on Lake Guri and the Rio Orinoco to try it out. These fish produce vicious strike and fight like a tank.
The one place I would like to fish in is Alaska and try out some salmon and halibut fishing.From stories I’ve heard it doesn’t get much better.Fishing in the last real American wilderness.
Race Poiny after a good noreaster
I would call it “Groundfish Day” and I would wake up every morning to the same damn day until I get it right. Naturally, I would always leave room to correct a mistake so that I would have to continually get up and fish the same day all over again. It would be right here in Massachusetts fishing for groundfish out on the banks.
I’d like to tag along
Deeeeep on the south side of Montauk
Cozumel Mexico of course ! …. Though…. Any modern day pirates down there?? Hope so ! Would add yet another exotic ingredient to an already “trip of a lifetime”. Crystal clear aqua marine waters, palms, white white sand and the fishing, best in the world.
Happy Tails To Be
And to dream … what if …
One place, one day. It would definitely be the Outer Cape starting at Race Point hoofing it around Hatches, along the outside toward Wood End and then Long Point.
No doubt about it, off the coast of Australia……..all kinds of fish, all kinds of fun.
costa rica. for sure. so many fish to choose from. light tackle all the way. test your skills to the max.
Key West in the early spring. Great weather and great fishing!

Probably bringing in some huge Marlin off Baja.
Grand Caymen. Blue water is only15 minutes from the dock!

I would love to fish the Florida Keys. Where else can you fish the the flats for Bonefish in the morning, and either the caribbean for snapper and grouper or the Atlantic for any one of a number of gamefish in the afternoon.
I would say marathon florida
I would love to go to costa rica and catch some mahi mahi and all the other cool fish there!

I’m a simple soul on this one. I just want to be able to fish on Hogate, NJ again.
My trailer there has been destroyed by Sandy, the beach is closed, and I could sure use some surf fishing therapy.
The Tropic Star Lodge in Pinas Bay, Panama. Over 300 IGFA world records have been set there.
Zanzibar – six species of billfish (Black, Blue and Striped Marlin, Sailfish, Broadbill Swordfish and the elusive Shortbill Spearfish), plus Wahoo, Dorado, Kingfish and more!
I would fish in Australia.
Anywhere that rod tips bend toward the water, you have other fishing fanatics to share it with and, if it’s not catch and release, a good wine to compliment the fish fry party afterwards.
Probably Pacific side of Costa Rica. Great offshore/inshore combo. Chance for a black marlin and an insane roosterfish bite in the same trip.
Block Island
Costa Rica
I would fish off south africa coast or australia. I would fish for tuna and great white. A once in a life time fishing trip.
Oak Creek near Sedona Arizona. I know, not one of the most exciting place for a fishing trip but most likely one of my last. I am from Massachusetts and I am going to Arizona to celebrate Thsnksgiving with my daughter and her family. You see, Ihave cancer, its terminal. Fishing has been a huge part of my life and I have traveled far
and wide and caught all kinds of fish. I would call it my favorite hobby, but if you ask my wife she would say it is more of an obsession! Perhaps you’ll send me a sweatshirt, hopefully so, because if I had more time…I would certainly Fish The World HARD CORE. Without a doubt!
Nantucket at OLD MAN Shoal with my old man!
Right now it would be one more day with albies on the West Wall, Pt. Judith RI!
I would love to fish the Eg and Uur rivers in Mongolia for the giant Taimen. I will never be able to actually fish there but to catch the largest trout in the world before the become extinct would be the trip of a lifetime.
After fighting cancer two times over the past two years I would love to go out tuna fishing on the grand banks and bring in a 500 pounder!
Costa Rica is at the top of my “White-Bucket-List”. I’ve read and seen so much in regards to quality fish as well as a diverse menu of species to catch…whether from a boat OR even from shore. Would be a dream come true to catch Roosters while standing on the sand.
Thanks for the chance, hope to you see you on the sandy beaches of Costa Rica someday.
Boca Raton Florida…would love to jump a Tarpon!
I always wanted to fish Alaska for BIG Halibit
Salmon fishing in Alaska, Kenai Peninsula and the area for King Salmon at world class resort with my son.
