Let this sink in for a moment: Colt Duffie caught his first white marlin at five years old.

Now the sixth grader says “I’ve been fishing my whole life. I feel that fishing is my thing. A lot of people my age like other sports like soccer and football, but I’m happy when I’m fishing.”

If anyone on the planet is born to be a fisherman, it’s Colt. Born and raised in Ocean City, Maryland, Colt’s father Jon owns Duffie Boat Works, which builds sport-fishing boats ranging in length from 50 to 80 feet. And before becoming a boat builder, Jon worked as a charter fishing captain. Jon, like his son, has been involved in fishing all his life.
