Brandon Garrett
Omnia Ambassador Silver
An Ohio native who calls Minnesota home, I fell in love with fishing here in MN about 12 years ago. I'm crazy about fishing for largemouth and smallmouth bass! I prefer to use finesse tactics like a jig-worm or dropshot, and throw some topwater. Also, I always, always have a jig tied on.
