Welcome to GAS!
GAS’ Passion for Fishing
At the Global Anglers Society (GAS), we celebrate our love for fishing and the various fishing techniques that enhance our experiences. Join us as we explore these techniques and share the thrill of the catch with fellow enthusiasts.
Fishing is not the only passion of the GAS membership. When participating in GAS events, you must also be prepared to demonstrate your skill as a euchre player, always remembering the right from the left bower—especially if you’d like an invitation to join us on a future GAS adventure!
No game of euchre is complete without a fine bourbon or single malt scotch! And of course, any great GAS member knows that you catch more fish when you are downing a Molson Canadian beer or sipping on a refreshing margarita!
When GAS members gather, it is always a great time filled with food, fun, and fellowship—an opportunity to build friendships that will last a lifetime!
History of GAS
The Global Anglers Society (GAS) traces its origins to June 2011, when Marlin Schul invited Trip Todd and Dean Bender to join him and his father, George Schul, at Silsby Lake in Manitoba, Canada. It was during this inaugural trip that a brotherly bond was formed around the fun and fellowship of fishing, drinking, and the card game Euchre, which laid the foundation for GAS events that commit to gathering each year in various locations around the world. Since that first trip, we have enjoyed inducting several new members over the years, sharing various fishing techniques, and we look forward to having you join us in the future.

On the final day of the GAS events, JB made a motion for the Global Anglers Society to explore the environmental impact of the explosive growth of the catfish population in Everglades National Park. The concern raised is that catfish are invading the typical gamefish environment, negatively impacting the enjoyment of anglers and frustrating local guides who have to constantly remove them from their charters' hooks. JB further voiced the concern that anglers are aggravating the problem by using certain fishing techniques, such as feeding the catfish with our bait and then releasing them back into the environment. JB then moved that if the impact study validates these concerns, GAS should develop a campaign to encourage local guides to execute the catfish when caught in an effort to reduce the population growth rate. The motion was unanimously approved, and a committee was assigned to lead the project.

SALMON:
▢ 1 Whole Side of Salmon skin off
▢ 2-3 tbsp of Blackened Cajun Seasoning
▢ 1 tbsp of Canola Oil
FILLING:
▢ 1 block of Cream Cheese
▢ 1 tbsp of Bacon Bits
▢ 1 tbsp of Diced Pimentos
▢ 2 tsp of Green Onions sliced
▢ 2 tsp of Mayonnaise
▢ 1.5 tsp of Dijon Mustard
▢ 1.5 tsp of Minced Garlic
GLAZE:
▢ 2.5 tbsp of Maple Syrup
▢ 2 tbsp of Melted Butter
▢ 1 tsp of Hot Sauce
INSTRUCTIONS
Lay out your salmon with the skin off and trim any excess pieces of fat or meat. Lather in oil and season both sides using your favorite Cajun seasoning. While preparing this delicious salmon, consider some fishing techniques that could enhance your catch for future meals. Add the cream cheese and all the other ingredients for the filling and mix together. Lather a thin layer over one side of the entire salmon. Beginning at the tail end, roll the salmon into itself to create the pinwheel shape. If you want, wrap the salmon in plastic wrap and place it in the fridge to set for 30 minutes. Pull the salmon out and slice it to create that classic pinwheel. Season the top side of the salmon with more seasoning, place it into a skillet or wood plank along with lemon slices and set in the fridge until ready to use.
Preheat your smoker to 275F to cook indirectly. Add some wood chips or wood chunks to the coals for added smoke flavor.
Pull the salmon out and bring to room temperature for 7-8 minutes. Place the skillet into the smoker and let it cook for about 30-35 minutes until it reaches 135-140F internal. About 10 minutes before the salmon is done, mix together your glaze and lather it on top of the salmon pinwheels. Let it finish cooking, and then pull off to cool for 5 minutes. Garnish the salmon with chopped parsley and enjoy! This recipe is perfect for sharing at GAS events or gatherings with the Global Anglers Society.
