The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
Captain Joseph's father was a founding member and officer of B.A.S.S., so the captain grew up fishing. He's spent decades working as a commercial fisherman, starting as a deckhand and eventually working his way up to a captain of commercial Grouper bandit boats, Stone Crab boats, and net boats.
