Deep Spear with Cameron Kirkconnell

Episode 119

Monday, May 18, 2026 • Duration 01:02:40

Cameron Kirkconnell @camkirkconnell sheds skin to scales when the moon is full or as soon as his toe touches saltwater. He holds his breath for three-times longer than a normal joe, and finds the biggest, and of course, tastiest of fish. He began his career as a merchant marine, achieving the rank of Unlimited Tonnage Captain, and with six month breaks between ships, he surfed, dove, studied, and fine-tuned his skills into the ultimate guide service for high-end spearfishing charters. Keeping dry now means equipping multi-million dollar yachts with special tools, helipads, runabouts... Finding buyers and sellers all over the globe. Based out of south Florida, Cameron still gets in the water plenty while raising little water people. Enjoy these stories from the deep with John Brooks and Kevin Miller.
