Captain Steve Huff's lifelong dedication to saltwater fishing began at the age of 10 when he caught his first snook. A University of Miami graduate, Steve moved to the Florida Keys in the 1960s and became a guide, quickly earning a reputation for his work ethic, knowledge, and respect for the sport. Booking up to 300 days a year, his clientele became regulars and friends. A pioneer in both the Florida Keys and Homosassa fisheries, Steve guided clients to some of the most impressive IGFA World Records of all time. Some of his most noteworthy IGFA World Record achievements as a guide include Del Brown’s 41-pound, 8-ounce permit on 4-kg (8-lb) tippet, Nathanial Linville’s 140-pound, 4-ounce tarpon on 3-kg (6-lb) tippet, and a total of six different tippet class records for tarpon with Tom Evans.  An accomplished angler in his own right, Steve’s personal best fish as an angler, a 186-pound tarpon on 16-pound tippet, surpassed the IGFA World Record at that time by 10 pounds, but he never lodged the claim out of respect to his client pursuing the record. Steve's influence on the sport extends beyond his time on the water. He has dedicated his professional life to protecting the sanctity of the sport through his unwavering example, therefore etching his name in the annals of angling history forever.
