Earl Byrd, III

Earl Byrd, III lives in Key Largo, Florida, where he fishes full time on a private sportfish operation out of Ocean Reef. Born in Gloucester, Virginia, he first found himself on television as a local shrimper in Biloxi, Mississippi. Since then, he’s competed in billfish tournaments throughout the Caribbean, the Gulf of America, the Northeast, and the Pacific Ocean.

Earl was voted Most Outgoing in his senior class, once ate 63 hot wings in one sitting, won the 2nd grade spelling bee in 5th grade, and is known for high level chirping in his adult recreational softball league. Some might know Earl as Dustin McCabe, a riddle wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a fishing shirt.
