Tred Barta

Host, Best and Worst of Tred Barta

Tred Barta is credited worldwide with catching more big eye tuna than any man alive on rod and reel and as the modern pioneer of canyon fishing, developing and perfecting many of the techniques used today.

As an angler and captain, Tred Barta has probably spent more time in the North Atlantic Canyons than anyone. Tred’s specific techniques on how to find a warm core eddie, how to fish it and stay with it are the standard today and are now key to bluewater success worldwide.

Tred’s light tackle career is legend - holding at one time or another, double-digit International Game and Fishing Association (IGFA) world records on light line.

Besides multiple world records in fishing, Tred holds a multitude of bow hunting records in Rowland Ward, his 382 lb. 16 – 16 ½ tusk wart hog shot in Africa with the bow defeated the great honorable Fred Bear’s record set in 1952 and it still stands.

Tred also holds records for Blesbok, Dik-Dik, Impala, Whitetail etc. A caribou harvested in Northern Ungava with a longbow scored 401 5/0, at one time a world record, now in the top 10.

Over the last ten years, Tred has become a teacher, the educator and the unmitigated voice of bluewater fishing.

As a result of non-stop writing for 27 years in almost every sports publication and through his not-for-profit lecture services up and down both coasts, through his Barta Blue Marlin Classic (BBMC) which has become one of the most successful tournaments in the world, Tred enjoys an endorsement from the industry, the press, the OEM’s, and the manufacturers as the most credible voice of bluewater fishing.

Over the last seven years, the BBMC has raised one million dollars for the IGFA Junior Angler’s Program.

Tred Barta’s new tournament, the Barta Boys and Girls Billfish Tournament in Beaufort, North Carolina, just in two years, has raised $600,000 with a pledge to raise a second one million dollars for the Boys and Girls Club of Coastal Carolina.

Tred’s mottos for all of his tournaments and lecture series are: “Families who hunt and fish together stay together,” and “There is nothing more important than the way we treat each other.”
