In this episode we were lucky enough to sit down with the Commissioner of the Maine Department of Marine Resources, and ASMFC Board Member Pat Keliher. Pat is a lifelong Mainer, who grew up on the banks of the Kennebec River in Gardiner Maine. He is a Registered Maine Guide, and licensed USCG Captain. Pat got his start guiding hunters for upland birds and sea ducks, he then transitioned to chasing trophy Striped Bass on the fly. He guided full time for nearly a decade before he moved into fisheries management, where he headed up the CCA, and then moved into the head of Maine's Atlantic Salmon division. He has been the face of DMR for ten years and says he has "some more years in him". Pat was the Executive chair for ASMFC for two years and still holds a position on the board. Pat is a humble man who is quick to give credit to staff and put the blame on himself if needed. He is truly a great ambassador for the State of Maine and for the fishing community on the east coast.
