Nikhil
Co-founder
Runs the kitchen and media side of TBGH and writes for Harvesting Nature. Has never met a tuna collar he wouldn't take a blowtorch to, and is putting it all into Shikaar and Spice, our cookbook.
It started on
a turkey hunt
A love and passion for responsibly and ethically enjoying the outdoors.
Our story
Two brown guys in the same blind
Nikhil and Shiven met on a turkey hunt in the fall of 2019. Each was surprised to see another brown hunter out there, and the hunt turned into a friendship.
Since then they've fished and hunted together from the Farallon Islands to South Africa. They hunt and fish to put food on the table, cook everything they bring home, and want to bring more people who look like them into the sport.
The team
Who you'll fish with
Shiven
Co-founder
Happiest at the helm of his North River, running NorCal water for rockfish, lingcod and halibut. If there's a bite somewhere north of the Golden Gate, he already knows about it.
What we stand for
How we do it
Hunt ethically
Know the regs, take clean shots, and respect the animal and the land.
Fish responsibly
Keep legal limits, release the shorts, and leave the water better.
Use it all
Collars, shoulders, crab bodies. If we take it, we cook it.
Open the door
Bring new people, and new kitchens, into hunting and fishing.
Since 2019
