Matt Luna
Omnia Ambassador Silver
As a kid, I started fishing with my dad. We didn't really know what we were doing, but over time we learned and started getting better and catching some fish. I was also very much into baseball and baseball became priority number one. I played baseball through high school and was fortunate to receive a baseball scholarship and played in college. I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and after college my passion for fishing grew. I knew then, I wanted to fish competitively. After being exposed to tournament fishing, I knew I wanted pursue it as a career. I haven't achieved my goal to fish professionally, yet! I am diligently working toward accomplishing this goal. I currently fish pro/am events and am documenting this journey to fish professionally through social media.
