Capt. Tim Hyde, a 67-year-old fishing boat captain originally from New Jersey, has spent his entire adult life fishing around the world. He's targeted giant marlin, tuna and wahoo offshore, and thrown flies at bonefish, tarpon and trout, but he never expected to find himself fighting for his life in the Bahamas. Tim was on the small island of San Salvador in 2021, fishing and sharing his catch with the local people. He had also taken a number of kids out fishing to try and teach them how to become anglers. Everything changed when a police officer knocked on his door. Listen in to hear Tim's story about how he ended up in Fox Hill Prison for 107 days, surviving on white bread and tap water in a 6' x 9' cell with four other prisoners.
