Captain Kyle is a native Florida cracker with a natural talent for fishing. His high school job as a mate on a local charter drift fishing boat made him a familiar face on the docks. He gets his first shot at a captain's position on a sportfish boat through a friend's recommendation. Now he must prove his worth among the old salty captains and the crusty old boat owner as they enter a billfish tournament in Bimini. Boating the first fish on the board has everyone wondering who the new kid on the block is. Just another day on the docks with colorful characters, line-dragging fishing adventures and dock smack talk.
