I have been lucky enough to spend much of my life fishing and even luckier to transform that passion into a professional journey. Raised near the Great Lakes in Canada, I targeted common freshwater species and also competed in high-stakes Salmon Tournaments. Moving to Hawaii allowed me to explore the vast ocean, sparking a deep enthusiasm for pursuing larger game fish. This is more than just a business for me – it’s a true love. Even on my time off, you’ll find me out on the water, either dragging lines or setting bait.
