From starting out as a dockhand in the charter business decades ago to becoming one of the Gulf’s most accomplished tournament captains, Pat has built a career spanning charter fishing, private boats, cobia tournaments, blue marlin tournaments, and a long list of wins and close calls along the way. Over the years, he’s won everything from cobia tournaments and blue marlin tournaments to the Gulf Coast Triple Crown — while living through the kind of highs, heartbreaks, and unbelievable twists that seem to follow a lifetime spent chasing fish offshore.
