Matthew Pearson

Member since April 2019 Destin, United States
Background
Fishing is in Captain Matthew Pearson's veins, and ever since he could hold a rod, he fished Choctawhatchee Bay. He got his first boat when he was only 11 years old, and he spent every free moment on the water. Capt. Matthew started working as a mate when he was only 14, and by the time he was 20, he already earned his 100 Ton Masters Captain’s License. But the moment he caught his first Blue Marlin was when everything changed. From that point, he dedicated his life to chasing Billfish all around the world and has been incredibly successful in various fishing tournaments. Today, Capt. Matthew loves sharing his ample experience with his clients in Destin and putting them on great fish.
