ABOUT US

Jeff “Hendo” Henderson

President

I am the Father of “Goose”. I spent over 25 years as an Equipment Manager in the Arena Football League. I have always been an avid fisherman. Before “Goose” was born, we got him “My First Fishing Pole” and as soon as he could hold a pole, he began fishing. I have been his number 1 fan and I have always been in his boat as his boat driver.
