Paul Sonnen

For Capt. Paul Sonnen, fishing isn’t just a passion—it’s a way of life. “There’s always something to learn, it can never be perfected, and that’s what keeps us all coming back for more.” Whether chasing bass or stripers inland, or casting to a school of stringing tarpon in crystal clear Florida Gulf water, something about catching fish on a fly rod captivated Paul from an early age. So much so, that it shaped his life and dream career as the captain of a sportfish mothership operation—spending days on the ocean pursuing billfish and stalking the flats for bonefish and permit.
