One of the high caliber young guns on the professional
bass fishing circuits, Tim has a number of prestigious
big money tournament victories and finishes under his
belt. Competing in the Pro division for the B.A.S.S. Northern
Opens, Bass Challenge Tour, BFL, and other regional events.
Tim has chased Largemouth, Smallmouth and Spotted Bass
across the country since starting tournament competition
at the young age of 18.
Leaving
his job as an Advertising Manager for a reputable fishing
publication to pursue his goal as a full-time bass fishing
pro at the young age of twenty-four, proved to be a
wise decision. Competing in his first year in the B.A.S.S.
Northern Opens this young angler finished the season
in 35th place in points out of 200 Pro's, with the highlight
being an 18th place finish at the Hudson River, a place
where he has cashed many checks in regional events.
Averaging
120-150 days a year on the water, Tim is an experienced
and versatile angler. Although he is competitive on
all bodies of water, he does favor tidal waters, such
as the Potomac River, Hudson River, and Connecticut
River. His understanding of tides, current, wind and
moon effects were developed in his youth ages while
pursuing various saltwater species.
During the winter months you can find Tim at several
outdoors shows across the East Coast giving seminars
and helping out at the sponsor's booths (when he is
not sneaking down South for some bassin'). |
