I'm April Voki and you are listening to Anchored.

My chance to speak with some of the most influential people involved in the outdoors today.

Join me as I sit down with my guests to learn more about their careers, opinions, history,

relationships, and lifeboat indoors and out.

Marcello Perez is the founder and CEO of Untamed Angling.

An architect and passionate angler, Marcello grew up in Argentina, where he fine-tuned

his fly fishing skills and gravitated towards the illustrious Golden Dorado.

This fascination would eventually lead them to open a number of wilderness fishing operations,

which are modeled around teaming up on a 50-50 partnership with indigenous jungle tribes.

In this episode of Anchored, we discuss Untamed Angling, the successes and challenges, the

behavior of Golden Dorado, what it's like fishing in the jungle and more.

So Marcello Perez?

Yeah.

Let's touch.

Let's touch me.

Look, if I sound more comfortable with Marcello, it's because I am.

I spent a week fishing with him in Bolivia, and anybody who's been to Bolivia, especially

with your operation, knows that it's just inevitable.

You end up bonding with whoever you fish with, even under high-pressure situations with

cameraman who don't speak English.

Yeah.

I agree with that, right.
