THE OWNER
Born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, Captain Aaron, AKA “Ron,” has always had a deep love for the outdoors and a passion for fishing. From a young age, he embraced the values of hard work, leadership, and environmental stewardship, which were shaped during his time as an Eagle Scout.
In 2008, he and his family made the move to the Pacific Northwest, drawn by its stunning landscapes and world-class fishing opportunities. Now a local resident of Edmonds, WA, Captain Aaron has fully immersed himself in the region’s vibrant fishing culture, becoming a charter captain and sharing his love for the water with others. Whether he’s out guiding clients on the water or exploring new fishing spots, his commitment to conservation and the sportfishing community remains central to everything he does.
Captain Aaron has been fishing his entire life and brings that same passion to managing the Hookup Hut. The products available in the shop are the same ones he personally uses when out on the water, ensuring customers have access to the best gear for a successful fishing adventure.
The Pacific Northwest has truly become home for Captain Aaron, and he’s excited to continue helping fellow anglers find success on the water all year long, day and night.
