My History

over 12 years

Join me as I take you on a journey through my life, where bass fishing has been a constant and enduring passion. Since the tender age of 3, I have been hooked on the thrill of catching bass and the peace I feel when I’m on the water. Growing up, I spent every spare second on the water, learning the ins and outs of the sport. Through the years, my love for bass fishing has only grown stronger. As a guide and instructor, I’ve had the privilege of sharing my knowledge and experience with countless others, passing on the secrets of successful bass fishing and sonar tactics and fostering a deep appreciation for the natural world. With each trip out on the water, I am reminded of the joy and excitement that first captured my heart so many years ago. Join me, and let’s make some unforgettable memories on Texas lakes, as we continue to pursue the elusive and exhilarating trophy bass together.
