LARRY HENDRICKS



Captain, Larry Hendricks

"Growing up in Northern Ohio in a family of anglers I quickly learned the joy of fishing from my parents and grandparents. There are pictures of me fishing as far back as I can remember. By starting out in farm ponds and rivers then graduating to the "big waters" of Lake Erie and working at a local tackle store, I learned everything that I could about catching fish."
