Randy Walker of Roseville, CA. I work in the insurance industry as a senior underwriter. I have always enjoyed fishing, but really got into bass fishing in 1997 when I bought my first bass boat and have had a strong passion for it ever since. I started fishing in small club events and have worked my way up to semi-pro team and pro-am events to gain more knowledge along with strengthening my angling skills and meeting new people. I try to fish every weekend possible, either fishing an event or just spending the day out on the water with my wife or friends. I enjoy introducing bass fishing to people of all ages and really enjoy getting youth involved and understand how important our youth are to the growth of the sport. I am an extremely approachable individual that loves to talk fishing and I truly look forward to the opportunity of promoting the sport with the fishing and family communities even more with RB Bassfishing and our sponsors.   My name is Dan Wells and I have a serious passion for Bass fishing and helping this sport grow! I have been fishing since I can remember, and I have been tournament fishing since I was 14 years old. My goal as a bass fisherman is to promote the sport I love so much and get young adults, teens, and kids involved with fishing. Bass fishing has become a way of life for me, I truly enjoy meeting new people "talking shop", and helping others to get on a good bite or catch the fish of a lifetime. I pride myself on being approachable and easy to talk to, and promoting all my sponsors in the very best way possible. Huge thanks goes out to Ron and Bob here at RBBASSFISHING for getting me involved in what I am sure is going to a great resource for fisherman and helping our sponsors. To everyone out there, if there are any questions you might have or anything I can do to help your fishing, feel free to contact me and I will do my best to help.   Michael Wilborn. For me, Bass fishing has become a way of life. My bass fishing career actually started with a guided trip for striper in the fall of 2007. An exciting, 8 hours of action packed fishing on a fully rigged bass boat, and I was hooked!! I now have my own bass boat, fishing rods and I am a member of an awesome fishing team. I consider myself a blessed man. I fished a club circuit in 2008, and I plan on fishing 100% Bass and Won Bass circuits in 2009. I look forward to a long lasting relationship with RBBassfishing and friends. I am essentially a student soaking up the knowledge of my peers like a sponge. Just as my friends have shared with me, I also will make myself available to share with eager beginners. That way, as I grow in the sport, I will also help the sport grow. I also enjoy helping Kids get into fishing and have donated my time to the Calvary Christian Center youth. Contact me with your questions or if you want to just share information.   Jon Bradford of Sacramento, CA. works full time for Clarke and Rush Mechanical. I truly love the outdoors; bass fishing and duck hunting have consumed my life 24/7, I like many others found my passion for bass fishing at a very young age. It was ever since the first time my dad showed me how to bass fish at my grandparents farm pond, It wasn't long before I was showing the ole man how to catch more fish. I fished my first bass tournament when I was 15 at lake Berryessa , ever since then I have always had an itch for tournament fishing. This past 2 years after getting out of high school and buying my first bass boat, I have been able to concentrate on fishing more than ever. I’m very fortunate to be a part RB Bassfishing, I am looking forward to the new people I will be meeting through RB Bassfishing, whether it be shooting the breeze and sharing tips at the docks or teaming up with a sponsor to help keep us out on the water rippin lips!   Jeff Czapla. I love bass fishing and the rush I get when I tournament fish. If you haven’t experienced being in a bass tournament, I highly advise you try one out and hang on for a thrill you can’t get anywhere else short of skydiving! Winning the Two-day Tidal Challenge event in the Delta was a great experience. We met some great guys and made some new friends. I am looking forward to working with the RB Bassfishing team and sponsors. My tournament schedule plans for 2010 consist of the FLW National Guard Series Western Division and the 100 Percent Bass WRL Delta/Wine series. In 2009, the FLW National Guard Series attracted an average of 186 total anglers and I project that both of these series will attract a larger amount of anglers and spectators for the 2010 season! In my spare time, I love to take my 9 year old daughter out fun fishing, in the hopes that she will catch the fishing “bug”. It’s a great feeling when you see a kid get “hooked” on fishing and I feel that the future of bass fishing needs to be instilled in our youth. I plan on attending youth angler events in 2010 to offer advice and tips to help kids catch fish and have fun! I hope to promote RB Bassfishing and sponsors during my 2010 tournament season and any future events in any way I can. If you see me out on the water say hello! I am approachable and love talking about this sport! Fish on…
