I’m Tom, and I created 9aspen to share the spirit of the Florida Gulf Coast through 4K boating and fishing videos, original multi-genre music, and coastal stories.
I document life on the water — offshore boating and saltwater fishing aboard my WorldCat 280DC-X catamaran, Cat Tales. I create original music ranging from Coastal Country and Americana to High-Octane Rock, R&B, Funk, Reggae, and Blues; the book Gulf Coast Stories: Eight Songs, Eight Chapters, One Coast; and 4K drone video across the Gulf of America and the Florida Gulf Coast.

The Captain's Choice
The Silver King Awaits.
There is nothing quite like the chaos of a Tarpon run on the Florida Gulf Coast. This design captures the raw power and prehistoric beauty of the Silver King in high definition. Featuring the official Cat Tales logo on the front left chest and a massive action scene on the back, this tee is a tribute to the heavy drags and bowed rods that define the 9aspen fishing season.
This is a premium Comfort Colors garment-dyed heavyweight tee, chosen for its authentic, lived-in feel and lasting durability. Please review the size chart carefully before ordering; for a standard fit, stay true to size, or size up for a more relaxed, island-style look.
Built for the fight. This is a definitive piece of crew gear, crafted to handle the salt spray, the summer heat, and the long runs home after the big catch.
Designed by 9aspen in Venice, Florida.
