Chuck Ceccarelli - (Our fearless leader) - Mountain Home, ID
Chuck grew up in the small town of Bruneau, Idaho -- Population: About 300. He spent his youth hunting, fishing and trapping in the Owyhee Mountains. Chuck has had an unwavering passion for fishing and trying to be the best angler he can be. This mindset has led to the creation of Fish Fighter™ Products. There seemed to be no place for the real hardcore fisherman to buy high quality, well-designed products that make their life easier. Chuck wanted to create products for people who are very passionate about fishing and are relentless in the pursuit of big fish!
Cody Herman was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, and his passion for the outdoors has led him around the world in search of the next great adventure. He is currently the host of Day One Outdoors which airs on Comcast Sportsnet throughout the year. While not out filming, Cody is on the water guiding his clients in the Pacific Northwest or beyond in places like Samoa and Hawaii for pelagics, and even down in South America chasing salmon. Cody has also guest-hosted shows on ESPN, Fox Sports, Outdoor Channel, World Fishing Network, Sun Sports and several other local programs and radio shows. When time allows, he enjoys fishing in competitive bass, salmon, tuna and marlin tournaments around the world. Cody is active with several conservation groups and uses his degree in fluvial geomorphology not only in his outdoor pursuits but assisting these groups with better hunting and angling opportunities nationally. Education is at the forefront for Cody and Day One Outdoors. Since his family did not fish or hunt, Cody learned through experience, guides, tackle shops, and magazines to become successful in the field and on the water. Through guiding, seminars, Day One Outdoors TV and additional educational projects, Cody’s goal is to give back to those who helped him along the way and encourage the next generation to enjoy the outdoors. One of the opportunities the outdoor industry has afforded him was the chance to participate in Operation Catch Fish. This USO tour occurred in Iraq and Kuwait during Operation Iraqi Freedom to entertain our deployed soldiers. Cody was fortunate enough to be asked to come along for two of these tours. Operation Catch Fish has traveled across the war-torn Middle East with a mission to support our troops. The culmination of each tour ended with a fishing tournament for the soldiers in the middle of downtown Baghdad at Camp Victory. Thousands of soldiers have had the opportunity to lay down their weapons, pick up a fishing rod and relax while catching a few fish and having some semblance of home. Of all the things that Cody has done or will do, these two tours to support our troops in Iraq and Kuwait will always be the proudest moments of his life.

I’m Austin Moser of Austin’s Northwest Adventures. I’m a Washington state native with almost 30 years of fishing experience. I’m on the water year-round guiding in Washington, Oregon, and Alaska. My passion is teaching my customers how to catch all of the great fish the Pacific Northwest has to offer while taking in the breathtaking scenery of these beautiful areas. Conservation is very important to me. I believe that being a good steward of the land and sea is a very important part of being a guide and that teaching others by example is my responsibility. Being a guide is my passion in life. Sharing with my customers these great adventures is what it’s all about for me. Live to Fish - Fish to Live
Joe Johnson - Bozeman, MT
Joe grew up in Bozeman Montana and spent his life fishing for trout on the Yellowstone, the Madison and the Gallatin Rivers of the Bozeman area. Most weekends you will find Joe rowing his Willie drift boat down one of Montana’s rivers looking for that monster brown trout. If Joe is not fishing in Montana, he may be diving in the Cayman Islands, or out halibut fishing in Homer, Alaska. Joe is on permanent expedition-mode. Joe brings a lifetime of fishing experience to the Fish Fighter™ Pro Staff.
Carl Johnson (No relation to Joe) - Homedale, ID
Carl lives in Homedale, Idaho and is continuously hunting for his next fishing adventure. Carl is the driving inventor behind the Fish Fighter™ Kwik-Pull Anchor Retriever. Carl is not only on the Fish Fighter™ Pro staff, but he is also very active in developing and testing our products. When Carl isn’t designing a new product or flying his airplane, he will probably be in Hells Canyon or running up the Salmon River with his wife Laura in their 25ft BWC jet boat. Their current jet boat has been featured in some of our videos and has (2) twin-supercharged Cadillac LSA engines, putting out over 1000hp. Carl has proven very reliable in leading us on our whitewater adventures to remote locations.
