In this Blog Post Nick Carullo & Anthony Pino talk about building a tournament team and how nick build the team he has now on the "Showtime".

Nick Carullo: The "Showtime" is something that didn't even happen on the showtime for the first year. We had an incredible year. The guys that are a part of the Showtime are some guys that have fished with me for 10 years or more.

Anthony Pino: Now, did you pick those guys? Did the team just naturally happen, or did you kind of figure it out as you went.

Nick Carullo: With a couple of guys like JC for instance Me and him, we just became friends about 15 years ago and we kind of just always fished together ever since he was a captain. I would mate for him and then when I was running boats, he started, mating for me. We kind of just been going with each other ever since. If he hopped on a boat, I would go with him, If I went out, vice versa. So it's kind of like it just happened. I can’t even say from where "Showtime" started? JC ran a 59 Spencer called the “Hell Raiser”, with me and Chorzo and fished with us on The Showtime. We were the mates on the hellraiser. We had a great year on that boat. I want to say the team fell apart, but we just moved on to something else. I started running a boat called the “Free Bird”, which was only kind of a year of tournament fishing, but I had JC, Chorzo and Doug. This guy, Doug, he’s special to us. I've fished with Doug and JC, like I said, for 10 plus years. We actually won the whole sailfish circuit on the "Freebird" that year.
