Kilwa Dreams,
Tanzania Professional Fishing- & Tour Guides |
I have had the pleasure of fishing with Johnny in autumn 2008 for
the first time (but not the last). We hook up a Dorado on the second
drop off, the depth is going down to almost 2000m, when Johnny jumps
in the water with the camera and the words: "I have to get that
photo" - and of course he gets it, another world-class-photo. But
the story illustrated very well, how professional Johnny handles his
work, and why he can makes one world-class-photo after another, he
just does it. Besides being a super photographer and angler, he is
also a good fellow to be in company with, he is always good for a
Bourbon and coke (when the work is finished) and that is maybe the
only minus I can find on him, I have never understood that coke :-)
See you next time, my friend.

Sportfishing,
USA Biggest Saltwater Fishing Magazine in USA |
Johnny Jensen’s outstanding images of fish, fishing and fishy places
have graced the pages of SPORT
FISHING magazine for many of the 15 years I’ve been its
editor in chief. Without a doubt, he’s one of the best photographers in
the world at capturing the sport in still images, both above the water
and underneath it. Jensen’s enviably dynamic travel schedule means he
has photos of fish/fisheries from around the world; his keen interest in
and knowledge of fishes make his photography and website all the more
interesting and valuable. Doug Olander, Editor in Chief |

I have known Johnny for a number of years having fished and
worked with him on many occasions. Apart from being a very nice guy,
his fishing and photographic abilities are second to none. Always
looking for that new species to catch or a new angle to take that
all important photograph. His underwater photography is outstanding
and he has a real eye to be able to immortalize that special moment
with one of his Nikons. |

I have a pleasure to be with Johnny in one of
my wild camps in Amazon-Brazil. It was a very grateful experience
because beyond he is a very good felá to fish with he knows deeply
about the fishes biology and nature.
His

only his sensible eyes and great expertise can capture. |

Johnny is
a long-time friend of FishBase, never tiring
of sending us new materials and photos for use in the database. His
beautiful pictures enhance a lot of FishBase
species summary pages on the web, sometimes it is the only picture we
have for a particular species. That makes it even more valuable. We will
always be grateful for his continuing support to our work. (Be sure to give us a visit if you happen to pass by our place here in exotic Rachel Atanacio – FishBase Project |

Planetcatfish.com World's largest Catfish Reference Website |
Johnny Jensen has been an outstanding partner for us at
PlanetCatfish.com contributing over 1200 of the 9000 images that are in
use at the time of writing and has been contributed the largest number
of images to the site since its inception in 1996. He is particularly
adept at “on the fly” photography either in the wilds of nature or
without the aid of a prepared photo tank and regularly supplies new
images often of new species in consistently high quality. Johnny has
also personally photographed a number of my own fish in my home and is
very easy and flexible to work with. Johnny continues to be our first
choice for featured fish photography. |

Fisk & Fri, Denmark Denmark's most read Angling Magazine |
For more than 15 years Fisk & Fri's
readers have enjoyed Johnny's very exciting articles as well as his
outstanding photos from all over the world. During this period Johnny
has been among the inner circle of regular freelancers at Fisk & Fri.
Besides these virtues Johnny is a very social person and a terrific
mate. I have had the pleasure myself of travelling with Johnny to several fishing locations in the world, and I look forward to many more similar experiences. One of Johnny's great strengths is probably his weakness too. He attaches himself very much to people with whom he enjoys fishing - and they to him. So he has to return again. But as an angling magazine we would prefer he made use of his resources for visiting new and exciting destinations. But he manages almost every time to provide his stories with new angles as well as supplementing with new exquisite fishing photos which make us feel: YES, those photos are a must in the magazine. He is thus in this field also a top professional. Sřren Blok Honoré, Publisher |
