Captain Butch Green was born in Pensacola, Florida to a strong fishing oriented family. He moved to Islamorada in the Florida Keys when he was a boy. He has been fishing the waters of the Florida Keys for about 32 years now. He learned the ropes fishing with his Dad, Captain Ray Green, rigging bait and steering the boat (single crew) when he was just 12 years old.

Over the years, Captain Butch has been both Captain and Mate on various boats locally also fishing tournaments in the Bahamas and Cozumel.

In 1985 he was hired by the H.R.H. Prince Khaled Bin Sultan Bin Abdulaza of Saudi Arabia to run his 54 foot Bertram Sportfish. He spent four years private sport fishing in the Red Sea off the coast of Jeddah.

Currently Captain Butch is fishing a beautifully restored and 34’ Hatteras which he purchased in 1994, and appropriately titled it “Sassy Lady”. Assisting Captain Butch and friends, is first mate (Jimmy Fickling) who has several years of experience fishing the Keys as well.
