He is one of the few willing to put down the fishing rod to get the perfect shot. Follow Chris Funk along on his adventures to see what he will "catch" next!
I had the awesome opportunity to fish with Ben Duchesney this summer at the Hobie tournament on Kentucky lake. Ben is a killer fly fisherman, as well as an outstanding writer and photographer. It is always great to bounce ideas and thoughts off of another "shutter button musher" and with the imposing sky this was one that we liked. The…

I shot this image a while ago, but it is still one of my favorites from a kayak. I was treated to a full show with these otters from the hunt to playing on the bank and even a bit of "making little otters". ( I turned the camera away during that part.... they needed a little privacy) Otters fascinate me…

On my last trip to the Okefenokee a large gator decided he wanted the fish i just reeled in. A nearby angler had yelled " GATOR COMING" but I could hear the water rushing over the gator as he sped toward me over the gentlemans yell. I flipped the fish up in my Jackson Kilroy and grabbed the camera. I wasn't fast…

This was from a trip last fall to the Okefenokee swamp. My friend Robert and his son Jacob were paddling in front of me and flushed a big gator out of the lily pads. I told him we were just passin' through and had no plans on staying for supper! If you have never paddled the swamp, do yourself a…

This was just one of those shots that I really loved. It was a late winter day on the Flint with my friend Henry Jackson and the light was hitting him just right. There was almost no color except for Henry, his kayak and the fly line. If you look close you can see the veins and muscles in his neck as he is…

When Spencer Jones was planning his trip from Wisconsin to Alabama to chase our beloved shoal bass I knew the place we needed to go. It is not the easiest spot to get to and the fun part is that it requires some wading. After a short float we were near the shoal I wanted us to wade and shortly…

My son Ethan and I headed down to fish the Wacissa river below Tallahassee Florida and were greeted with extremely high water from heavy rain just before this trip. The water was so high we had to stop in the road to let a 7 ft gator crawl/swim in front of the truck! The bass were deep in the grass and the only…

Many people have seen the image that I took of a barred owl flying in front of my friend and Jackson team mate Brooks Beatty. We were shooting promo images of the newly released Jackson Kilroy down in Florida when the once in a lifetime shot opportunity occurred. Brooks had been working a topwater frog along the dense weeds in a spring…
