An elite alpine downhill ski racer, Mill was one of the best in the United States in that event from 1974-1981. For his 1976 Olympic heroics, where Mill placed 6th while skiing on a severely injured ankle, he was awarded the “Olympic Spirit Award”; in 1993, he was inducted into the Colorado Ski Hall of Fame. Mill enjoyed a 20 year broadcasting career, covering two Olympics and hundreds of network specials, including 81 fishing shows from around the world. Personally, Mill holds his fishing accomplishments close to his heart. His success is profound, winning more invitational fly tarpon tournaments than anyone, including 5 Gold Cups, and he is only one of two people to have won a tarpon, bonefish, and permit tournament on fly. In conjunction with his award winning book, A Passion for Tarpon, and a trustee of the International Game Fish Association (IGFA), he has found himself as one of our sports’ leading authorities.
