Who We Are
One Dev. Deep Roots. Big Vision.
Hooked By Grace LLC is a mobile app development studio based in the Missouri Ozarks. Founded by Buck West — outdoorsman, husband, father, and follower of Christ — every product we ship is built with the same care we bring to the water's edge.
We build in Flutter and Firebase, move with purpose, and we don't ship junk. From fishing intelligence apps to faith-based tools to AI-powered wellness companions — if it solves a real problem for real people, we build it.
Every product in the HBG lineup is built for a specific person with a specific need. No filler.

FIELD-TESTED GEAR REVIEWS
I publish real tests from Stockton Lake, Table Rock, and Bull Shoals — not studio reviews. April 11, 2026: 24 crappie and a 21-inch walleye on Bobby Garland Monkey Milk, water 62–63°F, using a self-installed Garmin Livescope LVS34 and Force Kraken. I nearly fried $3,000 of electronics by skipping heat shrink — my buddy Shane fixed it in his garage. I share the exact gear, the mistakes, and the links so you can skip the learning curve. Every recommendation funds our mission to Make Jesus Famous on the water.
Helping churches, ministries, and faith organizations navigate mobile apps, digital tools, and online presence — with someone who shares the mission.

The Why
Making Jesus Famous
This isn't a tagline. It's the foundation everything is built on. Hooked By Grace exists to honor God through excellent work — apps that serve people well, content that points to something greater, and business conducted with integrity. Every line of code. Every product shipped. Every client served. For you, that means honest pricing, software that actually works, and a builder who stands behind the work like his name is on it — because it is.
"For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."
We don't just build fishing apps — we fish. Stockton Lake, Table Rock, the whole Ozarks circuit. That on-the-water knowledge is baked into every feature of DepthCharge and every digital product we sell.
When you buy a fishing planner or download DepthCharge, you're getting intel from someone who's been on those lakes at 5 AM watching the fog lift.
