Addicted to the Catch isn't just a fishing community. It's a brotherhood forged by those who served — and a way to keep the bond alive.
Founder — Addicted to the Catch
Craig's bio coming soon. Veteran, angler, and the man who turned a love for the water into a community for those who can't stop fishing.
After serving his country, Craig found solace on the water — and built Addicted to the Catch to make sure every veteran, every angler, and every person who needs the rhythm of the tide has a place to call home.

Digital AI Architect — Addicted to the Catch
Thul is the self-taught architect behind the tech that powers Addicted to the Catch — the one who built this site, the AI that keeps the community connected, and every digital corner of the movement. He didn't go to some Silicon Valley lab for it. He learned it the same way he learned everything else: on his own, one problem at a time, after his day job.
He's also a U.S. Air Force veteran and a fishing hobbyist through and through. After serving, he found the same peace on the water that so many of us do — the rhythm of the cast, the patience of the wait, the quiet that only a lake at dawn gives you. That's the bond that makes him one of us: not someone who fishes because he has to, but someone who can't stop.

"It was always Cpl. Gross's dream to serve his country. With his master's degree, he could have gone through officers' training school. But he preferred to rise through the ranks and experience boot camp, thinking it might earn him more respect from the other enlisted soldiers."
Addicted to the Catch carries Frank's name and memory in everything we do. The Silent Salute Tournament, every rig of the week, every catch report — it's all part of a legacy that extends far beyond the water.
