I am 18 years old and I started fishing the FLW Costa Tournaments the day I turned 16 years old. I have fished this series for the past two years and I have learned so much. My parents have taught me to surround myself with great fisherman and great companies and that is what I have tried to do. I am excited to be using my new 21' Vexus this year. It is an amazing boat! Shimano will always be my choice for rods and reels. You will not beat their products. This is another learning year for me and I want to learn as much as I can and try new techniques. The Costa series will take me to several new lakes and I am excited to work and figure them all out. My home lake is Pickwick but I am excited to learn new bodies of water.
