Meet The Professional Redfish League Director
RON HENNE, JR - TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR
Ron Henne, Jr., founder of the PRL and publisher of the popular Texas-based Saltwater Angler Magazine and Saltwater Angler Redfish Series, is the leader of the Professional Redfish League and the Redfish World Series. His Saltwater Angler Redfish Series was recognized by, and served as a qualifier for, the Redfish World Series since its inception in 2019. Ron leads the PRL charge.
A full-time Texan since 2002, living in Corpus Christi, growing up in Jacksonville, FL, Ron’s roots are Florida based. He is also still an active participant in many professional redfish tournaments in Texas and Louisiana and was the winner of the IFA Port Aransas event in 2015.
When not running tournaments, Ron works as a field service technician in the oil fields. He works closely with small manufacturers and business owners on advertising campaigns and marketing strategies, and always takes the time to build meaningful relationships with his sponsors and anglers. His honesty and integrity in all things, as well as, his philosophy of always “giving back” create sustained value in everything he touches.
