Fishing Information

I took my then 11 year old daughter Jada fishing on the charter boat I run last New Years Day (2003) just the two of us and we entered the NYD fishing tournament. We won with a 514lb blue marlin that Jada angled all herself, $4,600.00 and an IGFA junior girls blue marlin WORLD RECORD!

Personal Background

Married 14 years to Tara, 2 daughters Kari and Jada are 8 and 12 respectively.

My family moved to Newport Beach CA and I started saltwater fishing there then a few years out of high school in'81 I moved to Hawaii.
