    I was born and raised in Chicago, but after working 12 years in the financial Industry regulating the futures and options markets at the CME/CBOT I decided to pursue my passion fishing professional tournaments and left my full time corporate job. At that point, I moved to Junction City, WI with my wife Sara and two boys Hank and Duke. I've been fishing professionally since 2011 and full-time since 2015. I've qualified for seven MLF Championships and won over a half million in tournament winnings at the professional level.

    A spinnerbait is one of those baits that you can fish so many ways. To me, it's very much like a jig and I tend to fish them that way. Try this retrieve - slow roll it for a few cranks, then give it a quick couple of pops followed by a couple of quick cranks before back to slow rolling at again. Alternate all of that back and forth randomly. I've caught so many fish along grass lines and lay downs by doing that.

    I have an idea…go down to the river for a scent test!!!
    Rig up about 5 exact lures ,lines , etc. setups…
    And try no scent and four with different scents…..and keep rotating all setups until you catch something!!!!!!
    Let’s do it!!!!

    Aw man, I do great on spinnerbaits- I'll have to fish it right now& see if I can't get bit more! Seriously though, like retreive#1- i sort of " change direction" on the bait to get that flare effect; I actually try to burn+wake the blades without blowin' em out-works great for me. I'll blow it out once or twice doin' that& see what hits.

I figured since I caught 2 it would be a pattern so I changed out the retrieve like a square bill and boom got my limit next 10 mins love a spinner bait bite especially when they choke it!!!
