Go ahead and put another feather in that cap, captain.
Out of 153 captains around the world fishing in 95 “In The Bite”-sanctioned events in 2020, Destin’s Capt. Jeff Shoults of the Mollie has won Captain of the Year for the Gulf of Mexico.
In The Bite, tagged as the professional s sport fishing magazine, is the one that “most of the fishermen look up to … and pay attention to,” Shoults said.
The coveted Captain of the Year designation is broken down into five divisions: Florida, Hawaii, International, Gulf of Mexico and East Coast.
Shoults won the Gulf of Mexico division, which stretches from the west coast of Florida all the way to Texas.
