Jeff Burlingame
Old Town Sportsman ePDL+ 120 Pro
Jeff Burlingame is co-host of Aggressively Average Anglers, a YouTube channel built on fun, honesty, and the pursuit of fish big or small. From testing the latest gear to chasing bites across lakes and rivers, Jeff brings a down-to-earth approach to kayak fishing that resonates with everyday anglers. He’s all about proving you don’t need to be pro to have pro-level fun on the water.
Favorite Technique: Finesse glidebaits and swimbaits are easily one of the most fun ways to catch fish. They’ll catch just about anything, anywhere, and fighting fish on an ultralight setup never gets old!
My go-to micro glidebait is the Jackall Baby Giron, and my favorite BFS combo is the Ark Gravity BFS reel paired with the Cashion Element BFS rod.

Walton Doyal
Bonafide PWR129
I have called Georgia home my entire life. I look at kayak fishing for peace and a way to unplug. I was introduced to the sport around 2018–2019, shortly after I became a member of Team Westbrook Supply Co. Being a team member and hanging around the shop is where my interest peaked on rigging out kayaks. My passion is rigging out a kayak and taking it out to catch fish.
Whether I’m fishing from my kayak or just soaking in the quiet of a lake or river, every trip reminds me of why I love this sport.
