Omnia Ambassador Silver
I'm a ten year Navy veteran who settled down in Utah and spent a lot of time fishing High Uinta lakes for trout...until I caught a couple smallmouth on Echo Reservoir. I've now spent the last year fishing as many kayak bass tournies as I can. I've found throwing myself into the tournament fray has helped me learn immensly.
