TACO became the official sport fishing sponsor of Liquid Fire back in 2009 after Captain Mark Henderson, the team captain and boat owner, had been professionally fishing for five years. The family fishing team includes Co-Captains Joshua and Crockett, Mark’s sons, Audrey, his wife, and Madison Ambrose, Lady Angler.
To date, Liquid Fire has medaled in more than 40 sport fishing competitions, including biggest fish during the 2020 Cape Lookout Shootout Championship and 7th place aggregate, and winning the 2017 Kingfish Cup Series Championship.
With Fall fishing underway, we are excited for the Liquid Fire Fishing Team and the tournaments they have ahead.
Congratulations, Liquid Fire!
