Professional Bass fisherman since 1990. Qualified for 4 Bassmaster Classics and won 2 Bassmaster events. Also, qualified for 4 straight FLW Forrest Wood Cups! Meanwhile, I've been guiding full time since 1990 on Lake St. Clair, Lake Erie, Detroit River and on St. Clair River. I also guide in Northern Michigan. I've learned and honed my skills and now enjoy teaching novice to professional anglers how to better approach bass and techniques to catch them! I guide in Central Florida for Bass in the winter months and enjoy the change in scenery, warm temperatures and giant Bass!! 2026 will be my 35th year guiding in Florida! Started on Lake Okeechobee (still guide there some) and moved to central Florida in 2005. I fell in love with fishing at a very young age just fishing off the banks/docks and small boats as a kid. 35 years experience I believe makes me one of the best guides on the lakes!
