I have tried to cross out every style of fishing possible here in San Diego. From the lakes, ponds, rivers, to both our bays, and all up and down our coast. Boating, Kayaking, Float Tubing, Surf fishing, Fly fishing, and even some unorthodox methods which didn’t work out in anyone’s favor. I have never had any problems with grades because I have been told my whole life that if I get below a 3.0 no fishing, and that has kept the grade point average pretty good my whole life. I am going to Grossmont College and studying forensic science and criminal justice. I would like to get into the SWBA tournaments as soon as I can, and just keep learning and fishing whenever opportunity presents itself.

Carson Simms 

I'm Carson Sims and I'm 14 years old I am currently the youngest professional angler in the US. I have the bass champs championship coming up this weekend at LBJ and another on Falcon October 25-26. I've been fishing for 3 years now and am coming onto 4 I love what I do and couldn't ask for anything better!

My favorite lake to fish is Falcon and although I do love flipping big 1 and a half ounce jigs in trees, my favorite technique of fishing is a drop shot. I've been tournament fishing for 3 and a half years now. I run a Triton XS with a Mercury 250 verado 4 stroke.

I am a family man first and foremost married to my wife Susan since 1988 we have two beautiful daughters Nikki and Carly. My occupation has been involved in the towing business since 1985 with the last 11 years dedicated to our own company Arena Tow. Bass fishing is my other passion in life, having started fishing team tournaments in 1993 then taking a 7 year break to coach competitive youth soccer across the nation allowing me to be involved with my daughters and watching them grow up then returning to competitive bass fishing in 2009 only this time to compete as a professional in the biggest tournaments the west has to offer. I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to do what I love to do and have the support from my family and friends.

From an early age I always loved to fish. I honed my skills early on using a broken fly rod and a half used spool of K-mart monofilament line while fishing for carp, catfish and generally whatever would bite in the nearby inner city creeks and canals. That same passion is still with me today - although the equipment and tools are significantly more advanced.  I like to think of myself as the consummate learner and above all a “people person” who loves to share knowledge gained thru endless magazines, articles, and television shows.  I love to compete at larger fishing events such as the US Open, Won Bass Pro/Ams, Anglers Choice Pro/Ams, and the FLW. I frequently participate in lake cleanup activities, Wounded Warrior events and taking disabled or inner city children out on my boat to share the love of fishing.
 
Credits: winning a 181 Champion Bass Boat and finishing in the top 3 spots at team and BASS Federation events.  I have caught six fish over 10 lbs, with a 13.85 lb bass being the largest.

I have been involved with bass fishing since I was seven years of age! I joined my first bass club in 1980 and the rest is history. For nearly 30 years I've been involved in competitive bass fishing in one form or another. I'm truly addicted to fishing.
 
I will be fishing the WON Bass Southern Division Pro/Ams, WON Bass Team events, the U.S. Open and participating in my club tournaments with the Castaic Bass Club.
 
As a member of the Bass Knuckles pro staff my main goal is to interface with anglers of all types and caliber within our fishing community in an effort to share tips, experiences, fishing stories and adventures revolving around the sport we all love so much. When I first saw the Bass Knuckles Clothing line I was immediately impressed with the unique logo. It stood out above anything thing I had ever seen before and I knew then I wanted to be part of this team.

Travis Gardner 

I grew up fishing wherever I could and eventually took a very good liking to bass fishing. I have fished all over the panhandle of Idaho like Lake Coeur d' Alene, Fernan Lake, Hauser Lake, Twin Lakes, Spokane river and many other lakes in this area. I have recently obtained a spot on Team Idaho, and qualified to fish the Western Regionals in March of 2013. I belong to a local club, Panhandle Bass Anglers (PBA), am a lifetime member of BASS, and fish the FLW tournaments as well.

I am a bass fisherman and that is my true passion in life, hopefully by gaining some acknowledgement along the way I can make it in the Elite series fishing professionally. After I graduated high school I fell into a drug and alcohol addiction that lasted 10 years, now I am thirty two years old and bass fishing has allowed me to maintain sobriety and that is coming up on four years now.

I can't even remember the first time I went fishing. My dad is a commercial fisherman, fishing lobster, shrimp, sheephead, crab, and even more species. Since I was born I was out on my dads boat helping him out and fishing myself. I was catching one-hundred pound Mako Sharks at the age of six and catching yellowtail on the iron since I was five years old. I was born into fishing and I will never be taken out of it.

I always was fishing, mainly yellowtail, barracuda, but at the age of twelve I learned my love for bass fishing. Calico Bass, Sand Bass, Spotted Bay Bass, and both Smallmouth and Largemouth were all I would fish. Tommy Gomes from Unibutter Fishing Scent picked me up as a Jr. Pro Staff and from their, I loved being in the fishing industry.

My Dad and I split the payment of a twenty-three foot Blackman center console skiff when I was fourteen. I was out everyday fishing spotted bay bass to bigger game fish like sharks from places like the bay to amazing islands like San Clemente. My buddies and I would take trips to places up and down the California Coast to fish Public and Private ponds and lakes we knew of also.

The summer of 2011 was an incredible experience. I joined the SaltyDawg Custom Rods Pro Staff team and also caught some amazing fish. I go on an annual long-range trip on the Red Rooster, which was eight days of wide-open tuna and yellowtail. I landed my biggest tuna, only eighty pounds though. I also landed my personal best Calico Bass and Largemouth Bass that summer. I caught a whopping 11.24lb Calico and a 10.4 pound largemouth. Since then I have been on my search for even bigger fish.

I have fished a few tournaments including the Bay Bass Open of 2011 as well. I plan to join some of the bigger tournaments like the SWBA and the SBS as soon as I can also. Currently, I fish around 2 times a week and just love being on the water whenever I can.

Justin Hanold

I was born and raised in Poway, CA and grew up fishing all across Southern California. I fished not only on the lakes, but in the ocean as well, enjoying all of the different angling opportunities available. My love for the outdoors, and fishing particularly, put me on the water almost every single day. At a very young age I began to take part in the local bass fishing events. My desire for competition progressed, and it led all across the U.S. competing in events against some of the best anglers in the world.

Not only have I spent most of the free time in my life on the water, but I've spent my working years within the fishing industry as well. I have rigged, sold, and managed at several of the largest boat dealerships in the United States, from California to Florida.

Running my guide service, Southern California Fishing Adventures has allowed me to share my experience and knowledge with others. It has become my #1 goal, to help spread the knowledge drawn from my experience both on and off the water to each and every guide client.

Josh Parck

I have grown up fishing anything from mountain streams and lakes to bays and harbors up and down the southern California coats. About 4 years ago as my passion for bass fishing grew and my competitiveness came out I began to fish tournaments anywhere from San Diego to Lake Havasu. I have been lucky enough to have caught over 20 bass over 10lbs and striped up to 33.30lbs(Lake Perris Unofficial record)  When I’m not fishing I can be found at Sun Country Marine selling boats at the exclusive Southern California Skeeter Bass and Bay boat dealer.

Andrew Swaim

I grew up fishing for bass and pinheading on the sportboats out of Davey's Locker. After high school I attended the California Maritime Academy, which landed me a job that only has me working every other week. Thanks to my profession I have plenty of time and money to fish almost as much as I want. You can find me shore pounding various Bay Area lakes throwing big baits looking for that one bite.
