Ben Simmons puts NBA return on hold for pro fishing career
Ben Simmons is trying to fill a different kind of net these days. The Nets flameout, who hasn’t suited up since an 18-game stint with the Clippers to close out the 2024-25 season, purchased a controlling share in the South Florida Sails Angling Club, a member of the 16-team Sport Fishing Championship.

“It’s a very niche sport,” he told Andscape. “And if you don’t know, you don’t know. But once you experience it and get out there and see what it’s about, you’re kind of in awe of what the sport is. And that’s just something I’ve always been interested in in terms of the sport of fishing. The technique. And there’s so much to it that people just don’t understand. These guys are fishing on million-dollar vessels, and they’re out for days at a time. So, it’s tedious and gritty, but a lot of fun. It’s one of those worlds where you just got to kind of experience it, get into it and see what it’s about.”
