The Everglades have always been Jake and Stevie's playground. Growing up very close to each other, these two cousins spent countless days and nights fishing, hunting, and exploring the vastness of the 'glades. But these weren't leisurely trips – they were driven by a restless spirit and a thirst for knowledge. As avid hunters and lifelong outdoorsmen, they'd talk to biologists, researchers, anyone who could teach them more about this unique ecosystem.

Then came the pythons. As these invasive giants disrupted the balance of the Everglades, Jake and Stevie realized their skills had a new purpose. What started as a few hunts quickly became a mission. Through perseverance, grit, and a hefty dose of competition, they honed their python removal techniques. Records fell – first big catches, then multiple state records, including the 6th longest python caught in Florida. With each passing year, the Glades Boys perfected their craft, and in the summer of 2023, they struck gold with their capture of the longest Burmese python recorded in history (19 ft). It's not about the records for them, though. It's about protecting the wild heart of their home, inspiring others, and proving that adventure and conservation go hand-in-hand.
