Tom' Sponsor List

Clear Lake Bassmaster event: One thing I have noticed is these guys are not throwing big enough swimbaits - Go Big! 9" at least. The Hitch are huge right now - 13" - 14" and more. There have been good reports of 10 or more bites a day on the bigger swimbaits! The fish seem to shy away from the smaller baits right now and eat the bigger baits... I'd love to see them throw a bigger bait into their arsenal for the next few days!


Tom with next door neighbor Andy Mercado. This 27.77 limit was capped off with two bass near 8 pounds and was good enough for the win in Andy's very first tournament.

Tom with legend Bill Dance and Black Dog Bait's Grant Olguin at the ICAST trade show 2007.
My personal best fish of 12.61 lbs. Caught on 7/21/07 on the California Delta. I caught this "Giant" on a Wake Bait using a Quantum 7'9" swimbait rod and a Quantum Tour Edition reel line with Sufix Camouflage Line in 17 lb test. Scott Trummer was my teammate for the day and did a great job getting this giant in the net!


Tom with H.S. football teammate and childhood freind Jody Panattoni. In Jody's first tournament we cashed a check and got these plaques for 5th place on Lake Castaic.


Tom with Scott Trummer after a 3rd place finish on the California Delta. Scott's well on his way to becoming a top tournament stick and he's always fun to take fishing!
