Capt. Patrick "Look Out" Sciacca -founder, president patrick@tournamentangler.org If it's on deck, he'll trip on it. As a matter of fact, the crew doesn't declare it a fishing trip unless this guy gets bumped, bruised, or is bleeding. Kidding aside, Patrick has been angling since age 2, discovered offshore fishing by age 10, and has never looked back. Patrick's son, Kevin Aidan, all of four years old, has started the required training to carry on this family fishing tradition. He's not rigging 'hoo yet, but soon.

Chip "Monkey Fist" Sciacca -cockpit boss chip@tournamentangler.org Yes, they're related. And if there's a knot in existence, this guy can tie it and teach you how, too. He also happens to be a maintenance, electronics, Web, and bait-rigging guru. But sorry ladies, he just won't do windows.

Capt. Tom D'Angelo - aka "The Fancy Pants Assassin" tom@tournamentangler.org You'll have to ask Tom how he got the name (and it has nothing to do with the fact he's a second-degree black belt). But suffice to say, this guy can find the fish-some believe he's part tuna, but we have no proof, yet. The biggest problem Tom seems to have is not buying a new boat every other year (we like those kind of problems at Tournament Angler).

Dave "Numbers" Nockler-Deckhand dave@tournamentangler.org Dave loves to give the heat when he gets on the rod, especially to big marlin. In fact, this bulldog of an angler has bested many marlin over 500 pounds on stand-up gear. He's spent considerable time in Central America perfecting his stand-up techniques as well as perfecting his love of rum drinks.

Gregg "Chumaster" Blanchard-Deckhand, also known as the sushi king of New York Gregg@tournamentangler.org Gregg, a Louisiana native, is the man when it comes to dead-bait fishing. He makes some of the strangest fish-catching concoctions around, but you can't argue with his success. He's also a dedicated spotter, who will spend hours on the tower looking for that bill. And often sees them, too.

Rosco "The Dog" Sciacca - Accounts Receivable rosco@tournamentangler.org Listen up advertisers, you'll be hearing from this wickedly vicious animal disguised as a gentle black lab if your bill goes over 30 days. That's right. Rosco says: "I will find you and lick you until you pay up!" (And he doesn't joke around, but if you throw a stick in the opposite direction of him, you might have a chance.)
