Has
been recognized as one of Quebec’s top leading tournament fishermen for the
past ten years. He has over thirty finishes in the top three, and many more in
the top ten. In 1992 he obtained a prestigious “Triple Crown”, consisting of
Angler of the Year, Team of the Year, and the Classic Champion. The following
years were no different with him adding six more Team of the Year awards and
three more Angler of the Year awards to his credit.
He has been written up several times by local papers in the Montreal area, and by Sentier Chasse et Peche magazine for the classic win in 1992. As well he has contributed by writing articles on both smallmouth and largemouth bass for local papers. Television shows, pro seminars, radio talk shows and interviews also add to his list of accomplishments.
He is sponsored by “Pure Fishing”, which includes well known companies such as; Berkley, Fenwick, Abu Garcia, Red Wolf, Coleman, Johnson, Mitchell, Spidercast and Spiderline.
Many years of tournament fishing has left him with one very important asset, “Versatility”. By being able to adapt to any changes that may occur during the course of a day, means being paid at the end of the tournament. Last year, out of eleven events fished, eleven paychecks were cashed on Monday morning. Nine finishes were in the top three!
With
education being the main goal he strives for, a day on the water with him will
prove to be a learning experience and a memorable one as well. By understanding
the behavioral patterns of the fish, you will learn how to trigger them into
striking many different lures under many different conditions. The tournament
techniques that he has developed and refined
over the years will be taught to you, as you battle some of the toughest
swimming freshwater species of fish.
