A TRIBUTE TO CAPT. PETER B. WRIGHT
CAPT. KARL ANDERSON
REMEMBERING A LEGEND

What is greatness and how do you measure it? Is it hard work, dedication, innovation, drive, being a student of the game, trying experimental things, or having commitment? Or maybe it’s creating an environment for teamwork, being innately inquisitive, using data collection to make assumptions that can be proved or disproved, or questioning the status quo? In Capt. Peter B. Wright’s world, all of these were true. Few of us get to experience true greatness in the line of work or hobby we choose. Those of us who have had the good fortune to work, fish, travel, argue, socialize, or just be around Wright have been exposed to his personal greatness, in all its perfect and imperfect human form, only limited by his time on Earth. Wright passed away on January 23, 2023, at the age of 79, after a long and difficult battle with Alzheimer's disease.

AUSTRALIA AND THOSE GIANT BLACK MARLIN

When it comes to the best of the best in any arena, in their time and place, everything comes together to create an opportunity for incredible success. In Wright's case, it was the fledgling black marlin fishery at Cairns, Australia, that brought together a collision of his skills, inquisitiveness, love of fishing, and sense of adventure that created the mind-boggling career he amassed there.

To be sure, no one did more to promote the Cairns fishery to anglers in the US with his stories and photographs. He created an opportunity for an industry by mixing his skillset with a business acumen and his ability to entertain guests in a safe and big-fun way.
