Started fishing tournaments when I was in high school and have been fishing them ever since. For years I fished every tournament I could enter sometimes fishing as many as 45 tournaments a year. I qualified for the Elites when I was 30 but didn&#8217;t have the sponsors or money to compete so I turned it down. Got sponsor support later and fished the FLW Tour for 2 years and having been fishing the Toyotas since 2006. I\u2019ve won 5 Angler of the Year Titles becoming the only fishermen to have more than 3 AOYs in the Toyota series. Won numerous events along the way that has helped shape my way into working for Strike King as head of product innovation. Along the way, I picked up a camera and started filming my endeavors.\u00a0\u00a0I\u00a0\u00a0have now fallen in love with making videos about fishing and delivering it to you. Follow along the journey&#8230;it should be an honest and fun ride!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lake Fork is a phenomenal lake for fun fishing but I hope I never fish another tournament on that lake again.
