Captain Brett McBride is the first man in the water and the last man out. From his inaugural day aboard a fishing vessel at age 5 to becoming the Fishing Master and Co-Captain of the MV OCEARCH, Brett has pushed himself to solve the most dangerous challenges imaginable. A world class mariner who’s worked with Chris Fischer for over 15 years, McBride is an expert at “reading the water” from above and below. He creates simple solutions for the complex problem of catch and release of large predators, which includes jumping into the water with them on the lift. Brett is a seasoned diver, expert free-diving spear fisherman, surfer and avid conservationist. Brett sums up handling great white sharks and other large apex predators: “Everything we do is to reduce impact to the shark – in essence, we agree to push ourselves as hard as we can to avoid risk to them.”
