I got in to fishing at a young age white bass fishing and cat fishing off the banks of Lake Livingston with my dad. One day while it was raining, I met a gentleman who had been bass fishing and it had started to rain so he parked his boat under the marina stalls where we were crappie fishing. He told me that he had left the bass biting just now and he showed me how to rig up a Texas rig. I rigged one up grabbed some worms and walked in the rain to where he had been catching them in the marina. I caught my first 2 bass while standing in the pouring rain and I’ve never looked back. From there it was fishing everyday off the bank for bass and it wasn’t too much longer that I entered my first bass tournament where we came in 2nd and I had big bass. I’ve been fishing tournaments ever since and I’ve never slowed down and don’t plan to any time soon.

Growing up I had always fished different reels until one day on Rayburn a buddy of mine had given me a reel and said, "Hey try this speed spool out I think you might like it." That was the only Lew's reel I had but I wanted to try it out for a full year. That was over 10 years ago and now I throw nothing but Lew's reels all from one guy letting me try one out.
