Hi Everyone!
I thought I'd jump in and see if there was a place to hang my hat, although I am not a U.S. angler. (I love to fish, so hopefully that will do, lol!)
I'm from Ontario, Canada and have been fishing tournaments for the past 7 years, and it is one of the best things that I have ever done for myself. I grew up on the water, and my parents helped to establish a life long love of our sport early on.
A strong desire to challenge myself and try new things brought me to competitive fishing. I joined my local B.A.S.S. club, the Georgian Bay Bassmasters, and jumped in with both feet.
I am now the President of our club and the Vice President(2) of the Ontario B.A.S.S. Federation Nation here in Canada.
I still enjoy fishing club events, but have been fishing tournaments in the Western Division of the Competitive Sport Fishing League's (CSFL) Bassmania circuit for the past couple of years. I've done pretty well, and sm hoping that my third season is a successful as the first two. Either way, I am on the water with an awesome partner and enjoy every moment of it... I can't help but feel like I've won before I've even weighed in.
I've been fishing as a co-angler/non-boater up until now, but I've just purchased my first bass boat, and am really looking forward to the view from the front of the boat.
