Around 2010 my wife suggested I need a hobby... Winter of 2011, I went fishing off the of Turks and Caicos Islands and it was ok – not great. I tried some surf fishing and it was relaxing but there needed to be more to this fishing to get me hooked. Spring of 2012, my wife bought me a little boat and said you will have fun fishing on it and I met a country guy that said he loved to fish, so by that fall I was hooked. November 2012, I did a charter out of Ocracoke Island NC and we caught Wahoo, Blackfin Tuna, and a Sailfish – It was on! I'm hooked. So now I charter because nothing is better than people saying 'When can we do this again?' I think it was that feeling of my first Wahoo that never gets old. So its my wife's fault and I love her so much for showing me there is more to life than just working to pay bills.
