ABFI wasn't born in a boardroom. It was born at the dock, between fuel runs and tournament weigh-ins, by two guys who fish these waters every chance they get.
Jeff Rosenkilde
Runs the canyons, runs the code. Jeff built ABFI from the cockpit of his boat, translating decades of offshore experience into intelligence software that actually works.

Taylor Bakke
Behind the lens and on the water. Taylor captures the footage, builds the content, and keeps ABFI grounded in what actually matters — catching fish and telling the story.

Dave
The engineering muscle behind the platform. Dave builds and maintains the technical infrastructure that powers ABFI's real-time satellite analysis, data pipelines, and intelligence delivery.
We Aren't Tech Gurus — We're Anglers
ABFI was born from frustration, not a business plan. Two guys who fish the Mid-Atlantic canyons got tired of piecing together outdated data, so they built something better. Every feature started as a need on the water.
"A lot of speed bumps and pot holes and dead ends, but we've made it through each obstacle."
Jeff runs out to the canyons whenever conditions allow. Yesterday's bite, yesterday's conditions, yesterday's data — that's what drives every update to the platform. When Jeff and crew went to Norfolk, or ran out with Alex and the girls, they weren't testing software. They were fishing. The software just got better because of it.
Taylor handles the content — the video, the documentation, the proof that this stuff works. He's on the skiff filming, on land cutting footage, and in the reports showing exactly what conditions looked like when the bite was on. ABFI isn't a polished marketing story. It's raw, direct, and built from real sessions on the water.
They compete in the tournaments that matter — the White Marlin Open, the OC Tuna Tournament — and they use their own platform to do it. That's the difference.
Every feature in ABFI exists because Jeff or Taylor needed it on the water. No focus groups. No feature committees. Just two guys who got tired of guessing and built something that works.
— Tight lines and stay bent.
The Proof Is in the
Fishing
Real conditions. Real catches. Real life on the Mid-Atlantic.
