Paul Glass

Crescent Smallie SF

I'm a gigantic fishing nerd from Michigan. I didn't grow up a fisherman, but after my father in-law started me down the path catching carp, catfish and bass at the family cottage I never looked back. I love kayak fishing the river and building kayaks that make everyone on IG go "should have bought a boat!!"

Favorite Technique: Jigs have skyrocketed up my list of favorite techniques! They're so versatile and the hooksets are PEAK!
