Captain

John Kruizenga - I've been fishing as long as I can remember.  And for the last 12 years, I've come to be a disciple to the art of saltwater fishing, along the coast of Texas.  

Previously, I'd been fishing in-shore, primarily for Speckled Trout, (spotted weakfish), and Redfish, but recently purchased a boat large enough to fish offshore.  I've fished the Star Tournament sponsored by CCA, for several years in the in-shore division, fished in the Jack-Tarpon Off, and fished in the Cula Roja.

I'm planning on transferring some of these in-shore skills to the art of Kingfishing in the amateur division of the Southern Kingfish Association's Region 8.

Anchor Boy!

My brother-in-law, Donald Graham.  Stone-mason by day, fishing fanatic by nature.  We have to have Donny  along, because he's the only one I know who's strong enough to lift the fish we're going to catch for the tournaments, into the boat, and up to the weigh-in.

Also, highly talented at chumming, by just taking of his shoes, and dangling his feet in the water.

Neighbor Boy!

My neighbor (Southern-Fried Mike Snodgrass) is filling in on our team.  He's had some experience fishing offshore, and therefore is a ringer on our team.  I fully expect to spend as much time laughing as I do fishing with this crew.  What more could you want?

Unique Trait - Mike never met a beer he didn't like.

Our Mascot

Libby, our 65 pound pit-bull.  She is the only thing we have in our lives, with meaner teeth than a Kingfish.  But, she is also the most affectionate of any our crew.  She gives us energy, and love both before and after our tournaments.
