Capt. Ali Hussainy

Ali Hussainy caught his first fish, a trout, with his grandfather at the age of three, and that sparked a fire in him as he chased the next bite all over the sierras. When he caught his first bonito from the San Diego bait barge, his life changed again. Trout never had the same luster — he was on to larger fish. He now chases saltwater fish wherever they swim. His passion for fishing led to the creation of the fishing forum www.Bloodydecks.com, which he co-founded with Jason Hayashi in 2003. In the wintertime you can usually find Ali in the field or a duck blind, pursuing big game or waterfowl. Ali is president of BD Outdoors. To contact Ali send an email to [email protected]
