Welcome

My name is Michael Gross, and I am a bass fisherman from Arkansas.  I’ve been fishing recreationally since I was young and started tournament fishing in high school.  In the past few years, I have gotten into fishing bigger tournaments around Arkansas and the surrounding states.

I am a handyman by day, and I have recently gone back to school to pursue a college degree at Henderson State University and am also fishing for the HSU fishing team.  

While fishing as a Reddie, I recently won my first Arkansas Collegiate Championship at Greers Ferry Lake.  I have four top tens as a co-angler in the BFL  Tournament Arkie Division in the past three years, and won one BFL Tournament as a co-angler on Greers Ferry in 2010.  This past summer, I also won a sixteen foot Express boat with my fishing buddy, Justin Swayze, in the Tuesday Night Tournament Series Championship on Lake Degray. 

Of course, I’ve also had my share of bad days on the water.  I’m just a regular guy who loves to fish and gets lucky every once in a while. I plan to use this blog to write about my experiences, share information about what works for me on the water, and connect with other anglers (so please feel free to share this site with any anglers you know). 

I am also a husband and father of two.  My wife, Jordan, my son, Chase (4), and my daughter, Julianne (2), are my three biggest fans and supporters of my fishing.  We live in Gurdon, Arkansas, where my wife teaches at the high school.  We love to travel, cook, spend time with our family and friends, and be in the great outdoors. 

Thanks for taking the time to read my blog.  I hope you enjoy reading about my experiences and feel free to share your own.
