About TJT Outdoors

My name is Justin Sexton. My passion for the outdoors started as a kid in Florida. I grew up on the Gulf Coast. Early mornings often meant poling across shallow flats with a fly rod or walking into the woods with a bow. My father, grandfather, and uncles taught me how to do both. They showed me how to tie knots, set up tackle, read the tide, and handle a bow the right way. Those lessons shaped me. They were not just about taking fish or deer. They were about discipline, patience, and respect for the land and water.

Those early trips stayed with me. I learned how to stay quiet on a flat, how to watch the movement of fish, and how to cast into the wind. I learned how to track a deer across thick woods and how to make a shot under pressure. The outdoors quickly became more than free time. It became a way of life that taught me how to focus and how to value the time I was given.

When I started a family of my own, I wanted my children to experience the same thing. Tucker, my son, and Emma, my youngest daughter, now stand beside me on many trips. They each carry rods, bows, and cameras. Teaching them has reshaped the way I approach every outing. Instead of focusing only on my own catch or my own harvest, I think about what they are learning. Every knot they tie, every cast they make, and every arrow they release is another step in passing down the traditions that built me.

Some of our most important memories come from those trips. Tucker’s first hunt is one of them. He was six years old, and we were on our family farm in October. A 12-point buck stepped into view. Tucker stayed calm, lined up his shot, and dropped the deer with one pull of the trigger. The track was simple. Fifty yards later, we stood over his first Pope and Young buck. I will never forget the pride on his face.

Emma’s first hunt was just as meaningful. It was a freezing afternoon in the middle of a blizzard. An 8-point buck walked into range, scoring 140 inches. Emma did everything right. She made a clean shot, tracked the deer for 50 yards, and found it. Watching her succeed in those tough conditions showed me how capable she had become.

Fishing brought its own milestones. On one trip, we launched the Chittum skiff in perfect tide conditions. Tucker laid down a cast with his fly rod and hooked his first permit. The fight was tough, but he stayed calm. Landing that fish was a moment none of us will forget. It captured everything I want TJT Outdoors to represent. Real conditions. Real learning. Real family memories.

These experiences showed me the need for something bigger. Outdoor media is filled with highlight reels and polished results. Too often, the process gets left out. I wanted to show the real journey. The mistakes, the missed shots, the failed casts, and the lessons that follow. That is where the growth happens. That is where honesty lives.

TJT Outdoors is built on three values:
