Ask Skeet Reese what it’s like to be a professional angler and he’ll tell you it’s not just a job, it’s a lifestyle. “Being a professional angler is a career that goes on 24 hours a day, 7days a week,” he described, “There is no five o’ clock whistle, there are no weekends or holidays. Each year, I average 250 days on the road. During that time it’s non-stop – practice, tournaments, promotions, appearances, interviews – it never ends.” Despite the demands, Reese loves his fishing lifestyle. He has been especially successful in blending strong fishing performance with an exceptional promotional ability to formulate a high-caliber fishing career. “Some guys are pure promoters and some guys are pure anglers but to be really successful in this business you have to be both,” Reese bolstered. “There’s more money up for grabs in this sport now than ever before and in order to take advantage of that situation, you have to be the complete fishing package for your sponsors.” The two-pronged approach is what Reese finds most rewarding about his career. “There are two challenges I love,” he offered. “One is the challenge of figuring out the bass on a daily basis on different lakes across the country. The other is the challenge of helping my sponsors promote their brands and coming up with creative ways of exposing their products. Professional fishing is a perfect blend of those two and I wouldn’t trade it for any other job in the world.”
