40 Hours West follows us departing from Hubbard’s Marina in Madeira Beach, Florida, for an amazing 40-hour fishing trip deep into the Gulf of Mexico.
What begins as a pursuit of red snapper becomes a story about adventure, brotherhood, legacy, and the experiences that keep calling us back outdoors.
Along the way, we meet Captain Dylan Hubbard, a fifth-generation fisherman carrying forward a family legacy on Florida’s Gulf Coast that stretches back nearly a century. We’re also joined by Ray Ruiz of Baztec, whose work helps introduce inner-city youth to fishing and outdoor experiences they may otherwise never have access to.
This is more than the fish we came to catch.
It’s about going farther. Sharing the experience. And remembering why we go outside in the first place.
