In this first-of-its-kind TV series, we document content creators who are part of the Salt Water Sportsman Adventures team, a new generation of storytellers for the digital and social media age, powered by the original voice in saltwater fishing (now in its 85th year).
“The Sun Run” follows a group of creators traversing the Florida Keys, chasing their next viral video. Set up as a competition, the team with the most views/engagement wins. We profiled the different locations and fishing spots, followed the head-to-head competition, and went behind the scenes to capture all the frustration, failure, chaos and adrenaline that goes into capturing the next million-view video.
