Ross Purnell, publisher of Fly Fisherman, hosted filmmaker Ben Annibali on episode 41 of the Loop to Loop podcast. Annibali is also a photographer, climber and flight nurse based in south-central Pennsylvania.
The talk arrives as Fly Fisherman's YouTube channel reissues The Shoals, Annibali's film of Purnell's giant trevally trip to St. Brandon Atoll off Mauritius. They met as climbers when Annibali was 16, later fished together in Wyoming's Wind River Range and Yosemite, producing the short Descent. The episode streams on Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Spotify and the magazine site.
