Ethan Jett

Hobie Pro Angler 14 360 Ike Edition

I’m a small-town guy with grand aspirations in the world of kayak fishing! My journey with fishing began at a young age in pursuit of panfish. However, during my high school years, my best friend persuaded me to give bass fishing from a kayak a try. From the very first trip, I knew I had discovered my lifelong passion.

Since then I have traveled all over filming for my YouTube channel and chasing those green fish out of a little plastic boat!!
