The Florida Keys have long been a favorite destination for fishing, frequented by US Presidents, Heads of State and other politicians. Herbert Hoover was no exception to this. For almost 40 years, he made regular fishing excursions with his favorite guide, Calvin Albury of the Key Largo Angler's Club. Hoover never tired of fishing in the ocean and came as often as he could.
Hoover's fishing exploits spanned an 80 year period, which basically meant he fished from the time he was big enough to hold a pole. He loved all types of fishing, but the Key's held a special place in his heart.
Listen to learn about the special memento that Hoover bestowed upon Calvin Albury. It's an awesome story!
