THE ANGLER

I just love fishing, always have always will. Adding the competition aspect to it enables me to embrace my competitive attitude. My ultimate goal is to fish nationally in either FLW or BASS! My family is what I owe all my success to in fishing. My mom and dad always supporting me in this sport and wouldn’t have accomplished nearly as much without them!

OFF THE WATER

Residing in the town of Elk Grove, California, Bryant is planning his next tournament appearance. That’s all he does or thinks about whenever he has free time. Can’t get enough of it!

SKILLS

I would definitely say my biggest strength is versitility. I feel just as comfortable with a flipping stick with 80lb braid as I do with a spinning rod with 6lb test.
