Panama City Beach, FL – With epic offshore adventures and high-stake moments to family memories, cutting-edge tech and unforgettable wildlife encounters, this season delivered a front-row seat to the wonders that lie beneath the Gulf. Whether casting along sugar-white beaches or chasing wary tarpon through turquoise waters, Capt. Justin Leake and his friends brought viewers along for their journey.
Season 10 proved that two days on the water are never the same. Across eight episodes, the crew embraced everything from shallow-water sight fishing to a father-son offshore day for the books.
Highlights from Season 10:
Ep. 1—Red to Black to Jack
After an early morning of catching trout and running the white sand beach looking for redfish, Capt. Justin and fellow Captain Matt Smith encounter mother nature at its finest. Racing through the shallow water, adult dolphins use schooling black drum and jack crevalle as an opportunity to teach calves to find dinner for themselves. Which helped our anglers and taught us a lesson.
Ep. 2—Beach for Fun – Reef for Flavor
Springtime sight fishing on the beach is one of the most productive and fun ways to fish, but each day on the Gulf is different! Capt. Justin and Capt. Todd Jones love the challenge of finding what’s biting every day as guides. But between friends, a beautiful day on the Gulf seems to always turns into a competition! Because to these guys, that’s the fun part! Grouper, snapper and triggerfish are all on the menu, as well as landing a show first species!
Ep. 3—Reef Dropping and Diving for All
Artificial reefs are the mainstay of fishing guides and dive boat charter captains alike. Diving in the Gulf’s crystal-clear emerald water is a bucket list experience for divers of all skill levels. The deployment of new artificial reefs has come a long way in creating new habitats for the species that populate the Gulf. But it’s only part of the reason we continue to deploy them. Learn what it takes to deploy a new reef and see how Adapt-Able Scuba helps divers with special needs experience diving off Panama City Beach.
Ep. 4—First Things First
Meredith McCord returns to Panama City Beach to head offshore for a variety of reef species using Hummingbird CoastMaster. But you never know what you’ll find out on the Gulf, and surface conditions reveal a weed line that provides other options. Meredith loves a good friendly competition with Capt. Justin, and he is always up for a challenge… so it’s game on for a day fit for a king!
Ep. 5—Tarpon Producer
After nine seasons of filming tarpon hook ups and acrobatics, producer Chris Hermans comes from behind the camera to try and land his first tarpon on film with Capt. Justin. Crystal-clear, emerald green water and calm conditions make the perfect scenario for success! Do the conditions reflect the bite? Or do fickle tarpon do what they do best and decide otherwise? Place your bets!
Ep. 6—Billfish Tourney
We hop onboard with Capt. Justin and the crew of the Fall Line for the Baypoint Billfish Tournament out of Panama City Beach. Money, pride and bragging rights are all up for grabs where it takes a lot more than skill to win. What does it take to compete when mother nature is angry and your boat is taking a beating? A junior angler named Jonah, and a captain named Brennen who are not capable of quitting.
Ep. 7—Electric Deep Drop
Capt. Justin and Florida Watersport’s pro Jeff Lange go deep off Panama City Beach to test the limits of a new battery powered reel. Between drone‑drops and underwater surprises, they learn that precision beats brute force. When one beastly wreckfish lights up the line, it becomes clear: this gear is a game‑changer—for guides and anglers alike.
Ep. 8—Once Upon a Wahoo!
When tarpon first don’t cooperate, it’s time for Capt. Justin and friend Ethan Register to go find dinner options in the Gulf’s grocery store. Setting out on calm emerald waters, they troll lures and live bait behind speedboats in search of that flash on the line. Once hooked, the wahoo delivers spectacular aerial displays and high‑octane fights that test tackle and tenacity. Along the way, the crew shares tactics on how to read currents, choose the right rig, and turn the unexpected chase into a trophy‑worthy catch.
