About Captain Ralph Wilkins
Captain Ralph Wilkins’ life on the water began at just seven years old, fishing Brooklyn’s Sheepshead Bay while his father worked nearby. By age eleven, he was already holding his own on party boats, landing the same 20-pound fish seasoned anglers chased. That early start sparked a lifelong pursuit of big fish and bigger challenges.
Over the years, Captain Ralph became one of the top wreck fishermen in the New York–New Jersey region and landed one of the largest Tautog (Blackfish) ever caught on rod and reel on the East Coast — an 18.2-pound giant featured in Long Island Fisherman magazine.
His offshore achievements are equally legendary, including multiple solo giant Bluefin Tuna catches — highlighted by a 980-pound Bluefin in 2008 and a 1,048-pound giant in 2009, both recognized by ESPN.
Captain Ralph’s experience, grit, and time-tested knowledge on the water are the foundation behind the performance and reliability anglers trust today.
