Biography Peter Gorinsky was born in Guyana and moved to Costa Rica over 40 years ago. A medical savant and life time angler, he talks about his life and the developments that had lead him to where he was at the time. His original views were spawned from growing up in a tough situation and fishing was a necessity. Growing up for him fishing provided food for a lot of members of his family. In particular, he talks about a story where his grandma every day would take corn down to the water to catch a Pacu and then make soup. That is when he learned the vitality of fishing along with the delicacy that is sucking the eyes out of a fishes skull. He talks about how over time he has seen trout stocked there and its one of the main reasons that area caught his eye, he also talks about how there is barely any boats there and how they’re exclusive to only to the super rich; but he and his group pioneered the concept of running charters and it caught on. He also talks about the readily accessible fishing opportunities down there. The fish selection is remarkably diverse and the ecosystem supports almost all types of fish. One of his final thoughts for the interview can be summed up in a few words: Every time you go outside you interact with the environment, every interaction no matter how seemingly small it has some impact, tread lightly be careful and help the environment so your kids and your kids kids can enjoy the same nature you do.
