Tom with legend Bill Dance and Black Dog Bait's Grant Olguinat 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 3:16 Wake Bait Jr. 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!
