I was raised in middle Georgia and have been hunting and fishing all my life. I was 16 when I joined my first bass club and fell in love with not only bass fishing but also Lake Lanier. There is just something about those big spotted bass that I love. Being a tournament fisherman I have had the opportunity to fish the best bass lakes in the country and Lanier is one of the best there is. Another one of those favorite lakes that I go to every year is Lake Okeechobee in south Florida. There is no place like Lake Okeechobee in the middle of winter, fishing in t-shirts and catching huge largemouth. I have been on the professional bass tour for over 20 years and have won over $1,000,000. I fished the B.A.S.S. tournament trail for 20 years, qualifying for the Bassmaster Classic nine times and am a two time champion on that tour. I now compete on the FLW Tour, have qualified for seven FLW Championships and I am a two-time champion.
