Matt Califono, vp of programming scheduling for Spike TV, says he’s a big time fisherman. But there are predators out there even more fierce than Matt. “One time off Montauk I had a great white shark take a bluefish right off my hook when I got it close to the boat,” he said.

Matt is pictured above, with a coho salmon “that a bear DIDN’T get on Wolverine Creek in Alaska.”
