At Storm Warning Charters, we are proud to announce that Captain Brian has officially earned recognition as an IGFA Captain through the International Game Fish Association (IGFA) — the world’s leading authority on sport fishing, ethical angling, and world-record game fish.
This achievement represents far more than just another certification. The IGFA is recognized worldwide as the gold standard in sport fishing, conservation, angling ethics, and professional fishing standards. Since 1939, the IGFA has established and maintained the rules, records, and integrity of recreational fishing across the globe.
To become an IGFA Captain, captains must demonstrate advanced knowledge of IGFA angling regulations, ethical fishing practices, conservation principles, and professional standards within the charter fishing industry.
For our guests, this means you are fishing with a captain who is committed to:
- Professionalism and safety on the water
- Ethical and responsible sport fishing
- Conservation of Great Lakes fisheries
- Proper fish handling and angling techniques
- Delivering a first-class charter experience
Captain Brian also holds a United States Coast Guard 100 Ton Master Captain License, demonstrating extensive maritime training, operational knowledge, and professional boating experience.
Whether you are a seasoned angler chasing trophy salmon and trout or bringing your family out for an unforgettable day on Lake Michigan, you can feel confident knowing you are fishing with a captain recognized at the highest levels of the sport.
At Storm Warning Charters, we are always striving to raise the bar — not only in putting clients on fish, but in providing a safe, professional, and world-class fishing experience in Chicago.
