 Bree’s love for fishing started in 2017 at the age of 7 with offshore fishing. She has competed in numerous tournaments throughout the Gulf of Mexico and has also fun fished the beautiful waters of the Bahamas and the Dominican Republic. In 2020 Bree (10) entered the Louisiana Gulf Coast Billfish Classic and reeled in a 164.7 yellow fin tuna which put her in first place for tuna and first place lady angler. Over the course of a few years, she managed to reel in a whopping 25 blue marlin!
2020 was also a year for trying new things. Bree’s family property backs up to Lake Miccosukee in Leon/Jefferson County, FL. Her dad decided to build a dock on the lake which provided quick access to fishing and being out on the water. Thus, begun her love affair with bass fishing. Bree strives to perform her best at every tournament. Her future goals are to work on the water being a captain, chartering, or working her way up to Bassmaster Elite.
