Keith O’ Brian plays the vital role of leader man for Team Bad Company when the money is on the line. Keith grew up fishing in California, then moved to the Big Island to pursue his fishing career. Keith is now part of the Bad Company Kona operation working with Captain Randy Parker. We call him O B, and he's a true professional in the cockpit. O B is a master in the art of dead bait presentations, rigging, sewing, and otherwise turning a dead bait into a lifelike swimmer that the big fish just can’t resist.

O B does not stand for Over Board, and he is one of the top wire men in the Pacific when it comes to leadering big fish for the all important end game. More fish are lost at the boat than at any other time during the fight. When O B is at the transom the team has complete confidence that the fish will make it to the boat still connected. O B has proved his worth many times, and stands as the world’s richest leader man, having wired both of the Bisbee’s fish that won $3.9 million dollars in the 2006 Black and Blue.
