Omnia Ambassador Silver

Michigan angler/ outdoorsman. I love fishing for smallmouth and largemouth bass with my dad who got me into the sport and now my older boy, who is following in my foot steps. I love trying new baits and learning new tips and tricks to catch bigger largemouth and smallies. Angling has become a very big passion of mine as of late.
