"What is a mogan?"
Two kids growing up on the barrier islands of Florida's Space Coast caught
the addiction at an early age. In 1980, Blair Wiggins and Kevin McCabe began
their daily fishing excursions before and after school
(see image above). Kevin had moved from the north and referred to big
fish as "monsters". Blair, born and raised in Florida, called them
"biggans". As kids do, they combined the words to create what has become the
hottest catch phrase in saltwater fishing. Now that’s a "Mogan"! Twenty years later, Blair, a professional fishing guide, and Kevin, an
award winning television producer, reunited to create the next generation of
outdoor television. Addictive Fishing has become the new standard for all
other outdoors shows to be modeled after. The rockin’ theme music grabs
viewers attention and the antics of the energized host keeps you strapped in
for 30-minutes of entertaining, addicting saltwater television.
CAPTAIN BLAIR WIGGINS
aka "Mogan Man"
Whether he is on the bow or the poling platform, Blair is more at home on
a boat than on dry land. Capt. Blair Wiggins spent 12 years as a
professional fishing guide before becoming a tournament angler and host of
his own TV show. His lifetime of fishing experience paid off big in 2006
when he won the $100,000 FLW Redfish Series Championship. Blair continues
to travel on the road promoting his Mogan Series line of Flats Blue
fishing products and passing along his addiction.
KEVIN McCABE
aka "Producerman"
The man behind the console stringing clips together is Kevin McCabe. He
graduated from University of South Florida with a TV production degree and
worked for ESPN and NBC where he honed his skills that would later change
the look and sound of outdoor television. Kevin used his innovative
concept of adrenaline-driven, reality-based production to create his own
"live" movie-style format. McCabe Productions (MPI) continues to spread
their infectious format with the 15th season of Addictive
Fishing.
PATRICE McCABE
aka "Treece"
With her degree from the University of Nebraska, Patrice didn’t know much
about saltwater before she joined the AF team. Her head for business and
an ever growing passion for the outdoors allowed her to meld right in.
Trice plays a leading role in keeping this team sailing smooth and in the
right direction. When she is not shuffling papers, she can be found
rattling pots and pans. Anybody visiting the Dirty Dog Ranch can be
assured they will be well fed.
