A Look Back: The Beginnings of Metro Outdoors with Joe Falco

In this special episode of Metro Outdoors, Joe Falco, founder of Sportsman’s Outfitter and Marine, takes us back to where it all began. In the late 90s, Metro Sports approached Joe with an idea to create a local outdoor show that would showcase the best of Kansas City’s fishing and outdoor adventures. Joe’s passion for the outdoors brought the show to life, making Metro Outdoors a beloved series in the community.

A Reel of Unforgettable Moments

To celebrate those early days, this episode features a “Best Of” compilation from Metro Outdoors, capturing some of the most exciting fishing moments and outdoor experiences. From local fishing hotspots to nearby lakes, these highlights bring back the spirit of the show that inspired countless Kansas City residents to explore the outdoors.

A Legacy of Outdoor Passion at Sportsman’s Outfitter and Marine

Though Metro Outdoors ran for only a few years, its impact lives on. For Joe, the show was more than just a series—it was a way to connect with the local community, sharing his love for fishing and the outdoors. That same passion is what inspired him to start Sportsman’s Outfitter and Marine.
