Once in Port O’Connor, Craig links up with her guide Capt. Brent Hopkins, who has fished the Texas coast for over 25 years. Hopkins has an impressive resume and has competed on a national level as a professional angler.

Hopkins takes Craig on a skiff out to the Matagorda Island State Park and Wildlife Management Area. There Craig is amazed by the wildlife as she soars over the wetlands in a helicopter with Capt.
