My love for fishing began at a very early age traveling around Ohio with my parents chasing any fish that swims in Ohio's waters. Since then I have spent every free minute I have either going fishing or thinking about going fishing. My passion for fishing reached a whole new level of fanaticism when I made my first trip to Lake Erie some 26 years ago. That trip spawned a true love for both walleye
fishing and Lake Erie. So much so that my family has a place and calls Lake Erie home during the fishing season. Since 1994, I have been involved in walleye fishing competitively and I have competed in numerous national tournament circuits such as the PWT, MWC, FLW, NAWA, and various Lake Erie and Ohio walleye circuits. These experiences afforded me the opportunity to travel around the country and to fish many of the greatest fisheries in the U.S. It was during this time that my desire for collecting and customizing fishing lures began. During my extensive tournament fishing I was always looking for "an edge" by trying to create a "special" or "unique" lure by customizing or redesigning existing manufactured lures. Well, fast forward many years later and I'm still tinkering and customizing fishing lures. It keeps me thinking about fishing during the long winter when Erie is frozen or when she is blowing too hard and I can't get the boat out. So since I would be doing this anyway, I decided to create BadMo Lure Company, and share some of my labors of love with you in an attempt to give you "an edge" and help you catch more fish. I hope you love fishing with BADMO Lures as much as I enjoyed making them....til then,
