   About your presenters

   

  Doug-

  • Growing up in the cornfields of Morris, IL, Doug didn’t know that lakes had fish other than bluegills and sunfish until he was on his first road trip to Wisconsin.  Here, he discovered his love of fishing and cheese curds.  This was just the beginning as he now spends most of his summers on any body of water that he can get onto and has broadened into gouda and munster cheese.

   

  Jimmy-

  • This man has never had a bad day on the water.  Jimmy actually was the first of this crew to start making lures and is fully responsible if you potentially go down this same rabbit hole. Your wife can call and yell at him; he is experienced with having these types of difficult conversations.   

   

  Murph-

  • Murph has been designing custom jigs for 25+ years.  He has actually taken this whole process to another level and has started jigsquad.com.  His family doesn’t really know that he is still around as he is down in his basement fulfilling orders on some of the finest custom finesse jigs east of the Mississippi.  Besides the website, you can see his limited run creations on his Instagram @jigsquad  and message him to get in on limited releases.

   

  Jame-

  • Jame is from the Land of 10,000 lakes; nothing more really needs to be said, but he did drive his boat to school starting in 6th grade.  Open water, hard water, it didn’t matter—his parents always knew where to find him.  He used to sell bait to a local campground in exchange for the gas for his boat motor, don’cha know.

   

  Patrick-

  • Patrick is, well, Patrick. Patrick thought fishing was when someone tries to steal your identity online. Patrick has always been there for us in the form of moral support and a really good time.  He doesn’t really know how we use these jigs and which ones might work better for which fish, but he has flourished in the world of jig making with a specialty in painting.   Patrick misunderstood Jame when approached to be a part of a 5 man master baiter crew in his basement.  He showed up that night and, well, the rest is history.  He has since increased his fishing equipment 200% with the purchase of 2 princess Elsa fishing rods for his daughters (He himself still does not own one)
