Pro Bass/Crappie Fisherman, Brian Carper

For as long as I can remember I have loved the feel of a fishing rod in my hand. At thirteen I decided that I wanted to become a professional bass fisherman. From that day forward my future fishing career was the basis for every decision I have made. During high school I worked at Pohick Regional Park. School and work kept me very busy but whenever time allowed, I found myself on the water fishing. I started tournament fishing at the age of sixteen when I fished local and regional open tournaments. The following year I joined The Virginia Bass Federation and found myself as a student in a different classroom. There were many older anglers who taught me as much as they could. I believe those more experienced fisherman enjoyed tutoring me, as they could see the ambition and determination that drove me to be the best fisherman possible. Thanks to the help of many friends and teammates I began my journey as a good bass angler at an early age.

                                      

                       Pro Bass/Crappie Fisherman, Jacob Jewell

     I started fishing for bluegill on the banks with mom and dad at the age of 2. I then changed to fishing for bass with my dad. I can remember the first time my rod bent and the line tightened and I had hooked my first largemouth bass. I will never forget the head shaking and the blue and chrome rattle trap hanging from its mouth. Since then I have been on the lake non-stop.
     I discovered tournament fishing at the age of 15. I fish one to two tournaments a week.  Some are local club tournaments and some are weekend trails. No matter, they all feed my obsessions for the friendly competition and learning everything I can about the water. I have also gained an appreciation for teaching others after being given the opportunity to guide for Brian Carper?s Guide Service. I have had a lot of support through the years from family and friends.  They have helped me become the fisherman I am today.
