BIO

When Skeet Reese was eight years old, he and his father jumped into a little rubber raft on Spring Lake in Santa Rosa, CA. He caught his first bass that day, and unknowingly, that moment would impact the rest of his life. At age 10, he started seeing and studying all bass pro shops magazines. Following his father’s footsteps, he joined the Redwood Empire Bass Club at age 14. He started competing in local tournaments, which helped him develop his skills, learn to locate fish in a short amount of time, and put him on the path to becoming a professional angler.

Skeet is a member of B.A.S.S, (Bass Anglers Sportsman Society), where in 2007, he was deemed the Toyota Tundra Angler of the Year. He currently competes on the MLF Bass Pro Tour. “I love the challenge of when a fish bites,” Skeet says. “The adrenaline rush goes straight from your fingertips to your brain.” Skeet is one of a small handful of anglers to have claimed both the Bassmaster Elite Series Angler of the Year and the Bassmaster Classic. In 2021, Reese won the Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit Stop 1 at Lake Okeechobee.

Skeet has shared his passion for fishing with his family throughout the years. They’ve spent much of their time fishing on freshwater sources and embarking on yearly saltwater excursions in Mexico. When they’re not playing on the water, Skeet and his wife can be found rooting from the stands during the kids' snowboard races and soccer tournaments. He also takes advantage of old-school, sit-down family dinners as often as possible. Skeet can’t imagine himself doing anything other than fishing professionally.;
