Peter Miller is a three-time World Sailfish Champion with his team The GetLit, the host of the TV show Bass2Billfish, and the creator of Uncharted Waters with Peter Miller, a career he built after first working as a male model. Tom Rowland calls Peter the only person he knows who came to professional fishing through modeling, and the two talk through that unusual path along with the work ethic behind it.
Peter Miller is a three-time World Sailfish Champion with his team The GetLit, and he hosts the TV show Bass2Billfish. He has since started a new show, Uncharted Waters with Peter Miller, built around heading into places no one has fished before.
No. Peter started out as a male model before moving into professional fishing, a path Tom Rowland says he has not seen from anyone else who reached the professional ranks.
Uncharted Waters with Peter Miller is built around going where no one has fished before, following Peter's philosophy of heading into literal uncharted waters rather than fishing the same known spots.
Peter Miller is on Instagram and Facebook as Bass2Billfish and Petermillerfishing respectively, Twitter as @PeterMillerFish, and at his website petermillerfishing.com.
Peter is the only person I know who came to the ranks of a professional fisherman through being a male model, and that alone made me want to sit down with him. Beyond the unusual path, I wanted to talk through his work ethic and how he actually got to where he is today, from The GetLit's world championships to Bass2Billfish and now Uncharted Waters.
Peter's path into fishing did not look like most of the guests I have on. Going from modeling into competing at the level that produces three World Sailfish Championships with The GetLit is not a small jump, and I wanted him to walk through what that transition actually looked like and what carried over from one world to the other.
Peter built Uncharted Waters with Peter Miller around a simple idea: go where no one has been before. That is a different philosophy than a lot of fishing television, and talking through why he wanted to build a show around that idea, rather than just chasing the same known water everyone already fishes, was one of my favorite parts of this conversation.
Peter is a great guy with a genuinely wonderful story, and I hope you enjoy this conversation about Uncharted Waters as much as I enjoyed having him on.
