  I really like him. He has a great and simple approach to bass fishing. He doesn't try to promote any particular companies to the extent that many other professionals do. He is full of stories and is very personable. He admits his faults and is downright honest. A true fisherman.

  Met Tom in FL. Very nice guy, he gave me a few jigs to try out. I traded him a special frog I was using.

  Discovered swimming a jig last year and won a couple of tourneys with it and enhanced my fun fishing sessions, thank you!

  My home waters, and this man knows what he's talking about on the Mighty Mississippi River.

  Same exact thing happened to me on lake Degray about 40 years ago. I was flipping bushes and was reeling it out past the deeper stuff and a 4 pounder came up and smashed it. Saw the thing eat it and turned. Been swimming a jig since. 😊

  A dynamite video Sir!!! I am so amped up to tie on a Swim Jig next time out. I've tried swim jigs in the past and had no luck, but I have done well using Finesse Jigs and Football Head Jigs. Can't wait to get back on the water and try Swim Jigs again!!

  I am 69 years old and have bass fished since about 6 with my dad.  We fished in Louisiana on False River where there was a lot off moss and grass.  We used a spinner bait called an H&H and by mistake discovered if we pull our spinner bait across the grass, the bass would hit it.  Well before the invention of the buzz bait we were doing it with a spinner bait....

  This guy is awesome. I like how honest he is, you don't need to be all extra fancy to bass fish. You don't need all different variations of lures that can do the same thing. Most of the time pros are just promoting baits from companies that sponsor them rather than telling you what you really need to be doing to improve your fishing. One good jig can be fished any type of way, with any type of trailer. It is more about who is holding the pole than what is tied on it.
