CO-HOST - Joseph "Tony" Gillham
Co-host Captain Tony Gillham brings to World Class Sport Fishing a young and exciting new look for the show. Tony Gillham was introduced to the outdoors at a very young age by his Grandfather and Father. When he was seven he moved to Alaska to pursue a life based around hunting and fishing. At the age of ten he had already taken a bear and landed a 65 pound king salmon on his own. At thirteen he was guiding fishing tours on the Kenai for his father and at seventeen he earned his license from the Coast Guard to guide in a power boat and has been a professional Halibut and King salmon guide ever since. When he was 19 he entered the Marine Corps reserve and served five years with one tour in Iraq as a marine sniper and assistant team leader for a Reconnaissance team. He left the Marines as a sergeant in 2006 and pursued his career as a guide by expanding his season and accepting a job to be a big game guide in northern Alaska, for moose, brown bear, and caribou. So whether it’s a fishing pole in his hand in some back country stream or a rifle and binoculars on top of a mountain, as long as Tony is outside he feels blessed to have the opportunity to be there….His family has a great fishing business called Golden Eagle Charters, and if you want to speak to Tony in person you can reach him at: www.goldeneaglecharters.com. |
