Tibor "Ted" Juracsik with one of his first Tampa Bay redfish. Ted caught this 34" redfish using a newly designed, custom Capt. Russ shrimp fly. Tibor "Ted" Juracsik is the Tibor Reel Corporation owner and maker of the legendary Tibor & Billy Pate fly reels. Ted and his daughter Marianne were witnesses to some of our largest redfish schools and unbelievable tailing action this captain and Ted had ever seen. As Ted said that day within 5 minutes from the boat ramp, "I can't remember when I've seen this many redfish!". And that's with 20 knot winds for a week!

As seen many times on Walkers Cay Chronicles with Flip Pallot, Ted really is a nice and gracious person.

Captain Russ Shirley fishes the legendary sportscaster and world-class fly fisher, Kurt Gowdy and the general manager of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Chuck LeMar at the first annual "Chuck LeMar Grand Slam Celebrity Fishing Tournament."
