Background
Having been fishing his whole life, Captain Hilman Abdulla decided to turn his hobby into a job. What's better than doing what you love for a living? His passion has never waned and he's just as excited to get out of bed every morning to get out on the water. The best part of the day is, he claims, obviously catching fish!
