Captain
Phil Retherford

Member since May 2017 Grand Haven, United States
Background
My father was one of the first charter captains on Lake Huron. I started first mating for him around 12 years old. Now with over 30 years on the great lakes i have my own business and am professionally sponsored by numerous companys.
Techniques
Captain Phil is the main captain and the owner of the business. His motto is Safety First! Phil has been running Catch-A-Bunch Charters since 2000. The second captain of the boat (but you'll mostly see him as a First Mate) is his brother Paul. He participates in lots of tournaments and has been placed in the top 10 in almost every tournament along the Lake Huron Coastline.
