Personal Information

I currently reside in the city of Grand Ledge, Michigan –right outside of Lansing- with my parents Paul and Mary Stokes. I was born 10/19/89 and am currently seventeen years old. My tournament fishing career started in 1998 when I was only eight years old. I competed in the Bass-N-Family tournament circuit -pan fish division- with my father. We won two tournaments in the series and were crowned Team of the Year. This first year of competition set me in the direction that I am pursuing today.

Tournaments

I have competed in various tournament circuits over the years and also some of the most competitive circuits that I could participate in to this date. After 1998 I was happy with my success in the pan fish tournaments but what I really wanted to do was fish bass tournaments. Thankfully my father thought I was talented enough to fish in competitive bass fishing tournaments and so during 1999 we started fishing local bass tournaments. Since then I have fished in numerous local tournaments along with N.B.A.A. circuits, the Moore Boats circuit, and the Lake Drive Marine bass tour. I have had success in all of the tournaments I have fished, along with being crowned the N.B.A.A. division champion two times. I was the N.B.A.A. division champion in 2003 and 2005 along with a very close runner up in 2004. Other than fishing I was also a B.A.S.S. CastingKids local champion every time I competed (four times in two years). This past season I have stayed steady and have been crowned  2006 Capital City Challenge Division champion, and 2006 NBAA Skeeter Boats Angler of the Year.

This coming year I am very excited to extend my success and continue to do well in the BFL and other highly competitive bass fishing organizations.
