Some of his accomplishments include 2-time Walmart BFL champion, 3 time Florida B.A.S.S. Nation angler of the year, Southern Division, and many more.
Techniques: Artificial baits of all kinds as well as Wild Shiners.

It was awesome fishing with you Chuck !! You taught me a couple of things out there. That was some hog you caught on your home made swim bait (You need to market those baits!!!) Looking forward to fishing with you again someday.

My 12 year old son & I were very excited to fish with Bill. He called me a day before our trip to recommend fishing Lake Okechobee instead because the fish in Lake Osborne were not active.

Yes, it was a very, very tough day of fishing on the Big O. After 25 years of fishing on Lake Okeechobee I can count on 1 hand the bad days I have had. Unfortunately, that was one of them (a Mother Nature thing). I enjoyed taking you and Charlie out and thought you were both technically very good fisherman. Captain William Wood
