This is what makes America! The independent businessman and where all the stimulas money should have gone, not to government agency's. Invest in people like this and the returns will be ten fold.

God bless this captain and his heritage

I think its great how SC businesses, communities, and regulators partner with the commercial fishing industry to help solve environmental problems, keep the waters clean, and promote great family tourism for the fishing industries.

There are some states which only promote sports fishing for tourism and only meet with commercial fishermen when its time to blame someone for the environmental problems caused by lack of natural wildlife preservation regulations and land. Overdeveloped coastline
