âIâm a charter captain run the boat Bassinâ On The Bay, but Iâm also a hunter/seller. I go buy the contents of storage sheds at auctions, buy anything to sell. How much you want for those shoes youâre wearing? Iâve sold 4,000 items on eBay, made $97,000. Just had a yard sale the other day made $3,000. My boys at home know not to get to fond of anything around the house, itâs all for sale. Give you $9.99 for your shoes, could sell them for 12 bucks plus shipping you knowâ¦â

âIâm a clinical pharmacist, work in a hospital, love to fish and scuba dive, but got grandchildren now. Just waiting for my granddaughter to get potty trained, told her as soon as she is potty trained I will take her out on my boat fishing. Every time I see her she tells me she is almost ready, that sheâs really trying, canât wait for it to happen and take her out fishing for the first time. Just canât wait.â](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/john_watts-scaled.jpeg)

âIâm a biologist, wildlife biologist, love to camp. Me and my wife we have a huge tent, can fit a queen bed in it, sleeps five or six. Love to go camping in Vermilion Bay in Ontario, Canada, we go to a very remote area, you have to fly in, itâs so peaceful. Best part is at night, no lights around you just unzip the tent and go outside and look up, itâs like the whole universe is just sitting there waiting for you to look up, amazing, just stand there staring at the stars with my wife.â](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/mike_elsea-scaled.jpeg)

âIâm a cyber security specialist, love to dive, been pretty much under the water from Staten Island to the Outer Banks. The greatest experience being under the waves, the rocking motion, the weightlessness, so peaceful, do a lot of diving off-shore around the Nazi U-boat wrecks off the coast of North Carolina, amazing to see their submarine wrecks, just happy to be able to be underwater. Iâm a cancer survivor, been eight years now, docs told me I had a 35 percent chance of survival, they took out 51 lymph nodes, huge scar down my neck, but Iâm here, Iâm diving, Iâm fishing, loving life, loving life.â](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/joe_vacanti-scaled.jpeg)
