He is proud of taking part in breast cancer seminars with leading international doctors and
now is pleased to be part of conservation seminars for policymakers -- and children – around
the world. His message is fundamental: If you want to keep fish and an environment for them to
thrive, conservation is a must.
The International Game Fish Association, for which Forszpaniak is a 118 time record-holder
and ambassador, has the stature to conduct its own field research and call out violators, such as
China, which he says poaches neighboring fisheries.
“To amass the accomplishments that he has in less than 10 years is astounding …,” comments
fishing writer Bob McNally, who is published nationally. “He's well-grounded in the love of the
sport, and the desire to show what IGFA and fishing are all about in remote regions where such
things are rarely at the forefront.”

Looking forward, Forszpaniak’s to-do list includes:
Learning the violin, writing books on bonefish and cooking, becoming a sommelier and
recording an album of music with Naples-based arranger and composer Alex Goldstein,
who compiles intricately timed music themes for Olympic and other international skating
champions.
Goldstein’s wife, Marina Berkovich, is a fan of Forszpaniak from his annual pro bono music
performances with the Collier County Medical Society for indigent care.
Berkovich, of ABG World Video and Audio Production, met him while filming the talent
show “many years back.”
“Jan plays piano beautifully,” she says, “and he learned to play sitar that year especially for
that show.
“We became instant friends. Absolutely love and admire him. He is so unique!”
