How did Famtripper.com start?

Famtripper.com all started when founder/publisher, Chuck Taylor, was sent on a travel assignment. Chuck found himself in the sports fishing capital of the world, Islamorada, Florida where he caught a 40-pound permit — a game fish — over the shipwrecked Eagle, now a manmade reef. He was "hooked".
