Episode 128: Carter Andrews - "The Obsession of Carter Andrews"

Author: Mill House December 18, 2024 Duration: 1:46:21
One lesson we’ve all learned over the years is to never judge a book by its cover—especially when the subject is Carter Andrews. This towering figure, both in size and hair, is eclipsed only by the immense love he has for his family and his passion for fishing. His obsession is woven into every breath he takes. Carter is all in—every second, every day. While we’re all connected by water and the creatures that call it home, few of us live and breathe it the way Carter does. We turn to those who bring the vibrant stories of fishing and adventure to life, whether online or on television. For me, it was Flip who sparked the fire, Jose’ who carried the flame, and Curt—well, who can forget "The American Sportsman"? Life is made up of chapters that lead us to the next, and Carter Andrews is currently writing his at the highest level. His hit show, The Obsession of Carter Andrews, is nothing short of captivating—at times, even awe-inspiring. His journeys seem endless, chasing stories far beyond the horizon to remote places most of us will never visit. Yet, through his lens, I’m right there with him—on the edge of my seat—because he’s the real deal, and his team brings the magic to life. On this podcast, we had the privilege of visiting Carter’s home, farm, ranch, and yes, even his “cave.” We had a blast exploring the immense world of his life. Trust me, you can’t help but love the man.

The Mill House Podcast digs into the rich, often overlooked narratives that flow through the world of fishing and the wider outdoors. While the cast of a line provides the starting point, these conversations quickly travel into deeper waters, exploring the lives, philosophies, and pivotal moments of the people who shape these pursuits. Each episode is built on a foundation of genuine curiosity, offering long-form discussions with innovators, legends, and quiet pioneers you might not have heard of before. The result is a collection of untold stories that are as much about human character, dedication, and connection to the natural world as they are about any specific sport or technique. Listening to this podcast feels like pulling up a chair in a weathered lodge after a long day outside, where the tales exchanged are compelling, authentic, and far from finished. You’ll hear the nuances behind industry shifts, personal epiphanies born on remote rivers, and the hard-earned wisdom that comes from a life spent looking to the horizon. It’s an audio experience for anyone who finds education in leisure and sees the wilderness as a source of endless story. Mill House weaves these threads together into a consistently engaging listen that redefines what an outdoor show can be.
