Captain Chuck was introduced to hunting and fishing by his grandfather at a very early age, and never looked back. Later, he moved to the coast where he enjoyed scuba diving and fishing. Chuck's neighbor was a commercial fisherman and charter captain, and fishing with him on occasions convinced him to get his Captain's License. Being a scuba diver also has given him a first-hand look at the structure and reefs he fishes, as well...
