Captain Jason "Rhino" Reinhardt has been interested in the outdoors since he was old enough to walk. It's been his lifelong passion and he's now been fishing these waters for over 15 years. He fell in love with the coastal bend area and decided that he wanted to share that experience with others. He's passionate about sharing his knowledge with others and says that there's nothing like seeing a smile on someone's face when they've made their first catch.
