I grew up loving to fish. My dad taught me how to fish and I have been hooked ever since. I helped start the first junior bass club in New Hampshire, and qualified for the 2006 and 2007 B.A.S.S. Junior World Championship when I was 16. Around this time, I was blessed with my first sponsorship and I have been fishing tournaments ever since.
I started the bass team at Messiah College and hope that even when I graduate; the club will continue to grow. I’ve been blessed by two loving parents that have supported my love for competitive fishing over many years. I My dad has been my fishing partner every since I was 16 and will be my partner for years to come.
Club/Organization Involvement:
B.A.S.S. federation member for Sail Em Bass Club, President of Messiah College bass team, FLW College Fishing
Recent Accomplishments...
1200 Bluefin Tuna in last 5 seasons 775lb. Bluefin Tuna caught on 100lb HI-SEAS Quattro Line and a Penn 70vs reel and stand-up rod – 5 hour long fight.
Targeted Fish:
Largemouth, Smallmouth
Top 3 HI-SEAS line and reasons why:
1. Quattro Fluorocarbon: Strongest most invisible line in the world. Once you use it, you will never fish with any other fluorocarbon again
2. Grand Slam Braid: This is my favorite Hi-Seas line. Its so strong. I’ll keep the same spool on my reel for a whole season, and fish in thicker cover than anyone without having to worry about a break off.
3. White Lightning: I love this line for my spinning reels, high strength and low diameter makes this line unmatched by any monofilament line out there.
Favorite Fishing Technique:
Topwater
Most Memorable Fishing Experience:
Winning my first adult tournament at age 16 with my dad. It was my dad’s first tournament ever, and my first time fishing against adults. We went out and caught four largemouth for 19lbs with a 7lb oz lunker. We won the tournament by 4 pounds. We had an awesome day on the water and I will never forget the first tournament I ever won with my dad.
