A Lifetime Dedicated to Trophy Bass Fishing
Trophy Largemouth Bass Guide & Advanced Sonar Instructor
Welcome to Slaunched Guide Service, where my lifelong passion for bass fishing has become an opportunity to share my knowledge and experience with fellow anglers.
I’ve spent my life on the water, dedicating much of it to competitive tournament bass fishing before transitioning into professional guiding. Through decades of experience, I’ve developed a deep understanding of bass behavior, seasonal patterns, and the techniques used to pursue trophy largemouth bass.
With over 900 double-digit bass successfully boated, I combine years of experience, proven techniques, and advanced forward-facing sonar technology to help anglers pursue the fish of a lifetime. Whether you’re chasing your first double-digit bass, looking to break your personal best, or wanting to sharpen your fishing skills, my goal is to make every trip an unforgettable experience.
Let’s get on the water, chase some giants, and GET SLAUNCHED!

My Story
A Lifetime of Bass Fishing Experience
My passion for bass fishing began at just three years old, and what started as a childhood love for the sport quickly became a lifelong dedication. I’ve spent countless hours on the water, learning, adapting, and constantly challenging myself to become a better angler.
For much of my life, I was a competitive tournament bass angler, gaining years of valuable experience in a demanding and competitive environment. Tournament fishing taught me the importance of understanding bass behavior, identifying seasonal patterns, adapting to changing conditions, and developing the techniques and strategies needed to consistently find and catch fish.
After years of competitive fishing, I decided to take my passion in a different direction. In 2021, I established Slaunched Guide Service, combining my tournament background, lifelong experience, and knowledge of advanced fishing technology to specialize in trophy largemouth bass hunting.
Fish health and conservation are also a top priority in everything I do. I believe that protecting our fisheries is just as important as enjoying them. Proper fish handling, responsible fishing practices, and preserving the health of trophy bass are essential to ensuring future generations have the same opportunities to experience this incredible sport.
Today, I enjoy sharing my experience with anglers of all skill levels, whether it’s helping someone catch their first double-digit bass, break a personal record, or gain the knowledge and confidence to become a better fisherman.
My goal is to put my lifetime of experience and knowledge to work, giving every angler the opportunity to learn, improve, and pursue the bass of a lifetime.
