InTheBite joined forces with Hatteras Yachts’ Captain Jeff Donahue and Rob Everton to present the 2017 East Coast Captain of the Year Award to Capt. Chucky Moore. The presentation took place at the awards ceremony of the 2018 Georgetown Blue Marlin Tournament at the Georgetown Landing Marina in South Carolina. Part of the South Carolina Governor’s Cup, the tournament was a great event full of history.

Captain Chucky Moore won the 2017 Captain of the Year Award at the helm of the Gryphon, a 60’ Hatteras, based out of Isle of Palms, South Carolina. Joining Moore in taking home hardware were Mates of the Year Bryce Bell and Mark McDevitt. A full write up of Moore’s award-winning 2017 season may be found here.
