This episode has it ALL! Gangsters, crab cakes, serial killers, and Al Capone - oh my!

Meet Captain Judy Helmey - once named the youngest captain on the East Coast. She's a Savannah legend, to the say the least - and we got to sit down with her and talk about her wildly colorful upbringing - and her equally as colorful father Sherman Helmey (best known as Moose) who YES ... worked for Al Capone.

Miss Judy has already written one book, "My Father, The Sea and Me" - and don't worry - we hear another book is on the way.

When you go fishing with Miss Judy - you'll likely have a chance to book the Good, the Bad and Ugly Tour. She says, "It's not a fishing trip ... it's EVERYTHING!"
