Captain Chris Davy's lifelong passion for fishing began in his childhood in Nashville, TN, where he honed his skills in local ponds and creeks. His pursuit of larger catches started in his teens aboard the Honey Chile in Sarasota/Longboat Key, Florida, marking the beginning of his dream to become a professional fisherman. This ambition led him to compete in kingfish tournaments in the mid-90s. By 2012, Captain Chris expanded his horizons by hosting the Southern Sportsman Radio Show in Flagler County, a role he embraced for eight years. His career as a guide and captain with Southern Fried Charters is not just a profession but a calling.
