Chase Parsons

Wisconsin's Chase Parsons is one of the youngest Pros on the AIM Pro Walleye Series tournament circuit today, and although he's got a famous last name that is synonymous with Walleye Tournament Fishing, he has carved out a name for himself through hard work and determination.

Following in his father's footsteps, Chase Parsons has made an impressive imprint on the fishing industry throughout his short career. Currently only 28, Chase maintains the title as the youngest full-time walleye angler. Throughout his 7 years as a pro, Chase has been involved with many national television and commercial spots for several powerful fishing companies. He works extensively with sponsors in many aspects of the fishing industry, including product development and seminar/video promotions. Chase is a frequent host of "The Next Bite" television show, which airs on NBC Sports.

Last year Chase won the FLW Lake Oahe Championship, earned FLW Angler of the Year Runner-Up and was 4th place in the AIM tournament at Winneconne, WI. Unfortunately it was not always this good for Chase. His first tournament as a professional on the PWT was on the Fox Chain of Lakes in Illinois and he took almost dead last, 118th of 125. He always look back on that tournament as something that can still happen if you don't work hard in pre-fishing, because it's impossible to compete on the pro circuit without putting the time in, everyone is just too good.

Chase plans on covering a variety of techniques that he uses to be successful. He frequently thinks outside the box and comes up with some great ideas that nobody else has considered. This looks to be a very good presentation so you will want to get there early as seating will be at a premium.
