Fishing has been the captain's life since he was a kid. At the age of 13, he would spend his days with his older brothers helping and learning fishing techniques aboard local charter boats. Shortly after, the captain became a mate before finally becoming a captain in 2010. He has a huge network of fellow captains around the world where they share the latest and greatest fishing techniques. Hop aboard Reel Hooker Charters for great offshore, deep sea, and bottom fishing adventures!
