217 Bassin

Omnia Ambassador Gold

I am a teacher that just started a youtube channel about 3 months ago. I also got into tournament fishing this year. I fish any time I can get out on the water which has been about 3-4 times a week the last 6 months or so. I mainly fish central IL springfield area. I love fishing and love to promote it on my social media pages.
