What is 'Gillz and Thrillz', a unique fishing experience presented by UFC lightweight Clay Guida?

Clay Guida recently launched his own fishing venture called 'Gillz and Thrillz'. He partnered with 'Finz and Featherz', an adventurous guide-service start-up launched by fellow UFC fighter Chad Mendes.

Owing to his interest in fishing, Guida started 'Gillz and Thrillz' which promises to provide the experience of a lifetime.

According to the website, the service also promises clients a chance to meet their favorite athletes, celebrities and/or bands when on the tour.

Clay Guida, who defeated Leonardo Santos at UFC Fight Night: Font vs. Aldo, is often seen spending a day on the water with friends and family. 'Gillz and Thrillz' also featured former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz.

Chad Mendes, like Guida, has been an adventurer for quite some time. 'Money' is often seen on hunting adventures and tours with fellow UFC fighters like T.J. Dillashaw and legends like Dan Henderson.

His adventure service 'Finz and Featherz' has gained popularity over the years. In it, Mendes, along with his clients, hunts elks, hogs and other animals.

Chad Mendes explained the motivation behind launching 'Finz and Featherz' in an interview with Saltwater Experience.

"You know, the idea behind it was when I'm done fighting, it's not like the UFC pays us. And when you stop fighting, the money is done. So I was like, 'how can we create something that has some kind of association with the fight game and the outdoors and do something that I love to do, and make money of it?' So we put together 'Finz and Featherz' and laid out a year long schedule of different hunting and fishing trips all over the world..."
