Captain Sergio Atanes is a veteran fishing captain and a respected figure in the fishing community. He joins the Tom Rowland Podcast for an episode recorded entirely in Spanish, sharing his knowledge and perspective with Spanish-speaking anglers.
Tom recorded this episode in Spanish to break the language barrier in fishing media and reach the large, underserved Spanish-speaking fishing community. It is a deliberate step to make the podcast's content accessible to an audience that long-form English fishing shows often miss.
The episode is conducted entirely in Spanish, so it is intended primarily for Spanish-speaking listeners. Non-Spanish speakers may still appreciate the significance of the episode, but the conversation itself is in Spanish from start to finish.
The target audience is the Spanish-speaking fishing community, a large and passionate group that is often underserved by mainstream English-language fishing media. Tom and Sergio aim to speak directly to those anglers in their own language.
This episode marks a step toward broadening the show's reach. Tom frames it as breaking new ground and reaching an underserved market, suggesting the podcast sees real value in serving the Spanish-speaking fishing audience.

I wanted to do this episode with Sergio because the fishing world is bigger than any one language, and the Spanish-speaking fishing community is huge and passionate. Recording an entire conversation in Spanish was new territory for the show, and Sergio was the right person to do it with. Fishing is a universal language, but meeting people in their own language matters, and I wanted to take that step and reach listeners we have not been able to serve before.

This episode is a deliberate move past the English-only default of most fishing media. I explain why recording in Spanish matters and what it opens up. Hear it in the episode.
Fishing connects people across cultures and languages, and Sergio and I get into that shared thread even as we speak in Spanish. Listen to that section of the conversation.
The Spanish-speaking fishing community is large and often overlooked by mainstream shows. I talk about why serving that audience is both the right thing and a real opportunity. Press play in the YouTube player above.
This conversation points toward where fishing media can go when it stops assuming one language fits everyone. Worth hearing in full.

Doing a full episode in Spanish was outside my normal routine, and that is exactly why it mattered. The Spanish-speaking fishing community deserves long-form content in their own language, and Sergio helped me take that first real step.
If you speak Spanish and love to fish, this one is for you, and if you do not, I hope you appreciate why we did it.
