The youngest in the crew, but with a LOT of sea-time, Capt. Jesse Wynn runs the Contender 31 and 36 Open, plus his own 21′ Contender “Desperado”. “I’ve fished with a lotta dudes in the last 20 years, and I can say, without hesitation, Jesse is one of the best fisherman I know.” Says Capt. McMurray. “I don’t know man. He’s got some sorta sixth sense, and this weird touch. I’ve never seen a guy consistently score like this kid does.”
Background
Since graduating from SUNY Maritime College and receiving a degree in Marine Transportation, Capt. Jesse has worked year-around on the water.
He holds a USCG 1,600ton masters license and worked as a tug boat captain in New York Harbor for several years. Currently, he is an apprentice at the Sandy Hook Pilot (the folks who take those giant tankers into NY Harbor) a position that is awarded to only the best Captains in NY Harbor.
Capt. Jesse is a holder of a IGFA line-class world-record. With a Striped Bass weighing 47lbs 11oz caught on 8lb test monofilament.
Capt. Jesse grew up in Brooklyn. As a local, Jamaica Bay and the surrounding NY Bight are his backyard. But it’s no secret that offshore, on the tuna grounds, is where he really shines.
Without a doubt, Cap. Jesse is a conservation minded, passionate, fish crazy, light tackle/fly fishing fish-junkie.
Jesse is a very knowledgeable and determined captain, he continues to possess an ongoing commitment to the fishery. He is enthusiastic to say the least, and that is very obvious when your on aboard with him.
