How it All Started

I grew up fishing on Lake Vermilion! My family has spent a lot of time on the water!

Being an athlete of several sports, when COVID hit, my brother and our friends found ourselves bored. Because we live in northern Minnesota with lakes and rivers all around us, we decided to explore. We found ourselves kayaking and canoeing in places we would have never had a chance to explore if our high school sports hadn't shut down. We were soaking in the fresh air while staying away from crowds. I soon found out about high school fishing and discovered that it was done through apps that allow us to compete fairly without possible exposure to COVID. We jumped on the idea! Soon we had uniforms and talked my dad into being a boat captain. My brother and I competed along with a couple of friends from time to time and within three years, we were competing at national tournaments!
