Background:
I have been fishing for so long I can't remember when I started.
I got into bass fishing through my friend Daryl Schmeisser when I
was 9 and have been tournament fishing ever since the age of 13.To
say I'm addicted to bass fishing is an understatement, I'm OBSESSED
with it! I love keeping in touch with what is going on in the
fishing industry and what is going on in the major tours, kinda like
NFL for some guys. I'm subscribed to every major bass fishing
magazines, most newsletters, and an active user on many fishing
forums.
Even with all this information, I'm definitely no Kevin Vandam. I
would love to be at that point sometime in life, but at 22, I do not
have as much experience as some of the guys that I fish against.
Fishing and being in the outdoors is a major outlet from reality for
me and I always enjoy being able to introduce people that normally
do not take the time to enjoy the outdoors, to it, especially kids.
I may be a heavy metal music fishing machine, but I always have a
soft side and continuously look to introduce more children and
adults to the sport.
In 2010 I started my own tournament circuit, mainly for families to
spend some time with each other as well as a little competition. I
love giving away free gear to the kids that participate whenever I
can. I plan on continuing the circuit as well as introducing a new
individual circuit for the guys who like serious competition for
2012.
My all time favorite anglers are Kevin Vandam and Daryl Schmiesser
