Best Captain in PCB!
6hr trip 'We want to catch Bigguns' on August 11, 20264 adults

We had an awesome trip with **Got'Em Fishing** in Panama City Beach! I took my son, my dad, and my father-in-law, and Captain Jeremy Vanderveen made it a trip we’ll be talking about for a long time. Jeremy is an absolute blast to fish with. He kept us laughing, kept the rods bent, and most importantly—**put us on the fish!** Three generations of opinions on one boat could have been a disaster 😂, but Jeremy handled us like a pro. Great captain, great personality, and a guy who genuinely wants you to have a good time. We caught fish, laughed all day, and made some memories that mean a lot more than what we brought back to the dock. If you're fishing in Panama City Beach, give **Got'Em Fishing and Captain Jeremy** a call. We’ll definitely fish with him again. **5 stars — and Jeremy deserves a sixth just for putting up with all of us! 🎣😂**

Reported catch:
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
Vermilion Snapper
Gray Triggerfish
Red Grouper

They call it fishing…
4/hr afternoon on June 8, 20264 adults

They call it fishing rather than “catching”; Captain Jeremy determines the experience; the fish determine the catch. While the catch left something to be desired; Cap’n Jeremy went above and beyond in chasing the fish and doing everything possible to make it a great experience. His knowledge, his care in assisting and coaching the anglers make for a laid back and fun experience. Hope to try again in the future and would gladly recommend him to others looking for the fishing experience.

Angler's Choice

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

Capt. Jeremy was born and raised in Panama City and he grew up fishing every chance he got. When he was 16, he started getting the opportunity to learn and fish on charters through a family friend. The captain did this on and off through high school until he joined the Air Force. He served 4 years and when he came back home is when he started fishing full-time for a living. He first started decking on a few local charter boats during the season. Soon after, he began commercially fishing during the winter and spring months, which would put him in the gulf for a good 250+ days a year. In 2006, he got his 100-Ton license. He now thinks the thing that gets me excited about fishing is when someone catches a nice fish and the look on their face after it's landed, especially the kids. Captain Jeremy feels blessed that gets to do this for a living. He likes catching all kinds but would have to say he love Grouper fishing and live baiting Kingfish.
