Real life fishermen who make a living by catching huge fish that can be worth tens of thousands of dollars are the focus of an ongoing reality TV show on National Geographic.
At the end of the season, the fisherman who did the best is called the winner, which gives them bragging rights for life.
Griffin won the fourth season.
A lot of fans of the star shared their condolences on social media and talked about how sad they were about the news.
One fan wrote, “One of my all-time favorite guys.”
“Rest easy Griff.”
“All show fans should be very sad about this,” said someone else.
“He will forever be one of my favorites.”
Someone else said they met Charlie and Leila last summer on a boat ride and shared a picture of the two of them that makes my heart hurt.
“Charlie was very knowledgable and friendly, a great captain,” a fan said.
“Leila was a great dog.” His family and friends are in our thoughts and prayers.
