Brad Philipps and the Decisive team is one of the top crews in the world. Brad and I started this operation over 10 years ago and is stronger now than ever. I sold the boat to Brad two years ago but still feel a strong connection to the team. Well done guys and guest for making 2016 a banner year. See you in March!

Been really busy since getting back from the Miami Boat show last weekend, but thank you to The Billfish Foundation for all they do for Billfish Conservation, everyone that fishes offshore should really join their cause and become a member!
Won their Overall Release Captain of the Year Award, my 16th time in the past 17 years to receive this award. Catching up with so many friends sure was great!

Fishing has been great! Raised 48 sails and a blue marlin yesterday, releasing 15 sails the last day of the Jake Jordan Fly Challenge to place a very well deserved second place. Usually placing second is like 'kissing your sister', but fly-fishing with only a single angler, against other two angler teams, sure made it tuff to take advantage of the multiples we saw...well done to all, great fishing with some spectacular action! We are having one heck of a season!

As he closes in on 30,000 Billfish releases, this top captain has learned what it takes to be the best in the game.
