TACO Marine is proud to sponsor the Liquid Fire Fishing Team, which is our longest-tenured Pro Staff! The team is comprised of Captain Mark Henderson, who is also our OEM Sales Manager, and his family – sons, Joshua and Crockett, and wife Audrey. They have been fishing together as a team for 16 years and counting and have many sponsors, including TACO Marine.
Mark’s Sea Vee 390Z with Quad Mercury Verados is loaded with top-of-the-line fishing gear! Some of the TACO Marine products on the boat are the Grand Slam 800 VHF Antenna Mount, the Grand Slam 170-2 Center Rigger Mount, the Pro Series GS-450 Outrigger Mount and 20’ Carbon Fiber Poles, SuproFlex Rub Rail and various Kite Clusters, including the Deluxe Trident Rod Holder Cluster w/ Tool Caddy.
The Liquid Fire Fishing Team has been fortunate to travel the country fishing in different environments, but their favorite place to fish is in Fourchon, La. because of the vast amount of fish species. They also enjoy Key West, Fla., where they catch Lane and Mutton Snapper, Yellowtail and Kingfish. Another city in Florida that they enjoy is Fort Pierce and Jensen Beach. They like visiting this area because of the great fishing, but also because they enjoy the restaurants.
Back in 2017, the Liquid Fire Fishing Team had a huge win dominating the 2017 Kingfish Cup! They came in first place – taking home almost $100,000! They mentioned their favorite fishing technique to catch Kingfish is slow trolling, but they also dabble in kite fishing. Mark says they’ve caught the largest fish by using big blue runners as bait.
