Abstract:

North Carolina boasts the largest sport-fishing fleet on the eastern coast operated by one man, Ottis Purifoy. Purifoy's \"Lucky Seven,\"operated out of Morehead City, is comprised now of nine boats with another currently being built. In addition to providing boats and guides, Purifoy has a fish house where he can clean and ice the catch, providing an outlet for his commercial fishing business as well.
