I caught my first fish (catfish) when I was 2 in my grandma's swimming pool in Texas. I fished all through my childhood into my 20's . Then I had a rough patch got clean in 2018 and turned to family and the fishing community and focused my energy into something productive. Fishing saved my life.

Big deck energy-born and raised in sunny san diego. Been fishing all my life, but saltwater bass for 5 years. I came for the fight, but stayed for the community. What stokes me the most about fishing is just being able to be myself with all my brothers

My name is Sammy Casas, and I’ve been fishing since I was about 16 years old. I picked it up as a way to stay off the streets and away from trouble—it gave me something positive to focus on when I needed it most. What excites me the most about fishing isn’t just the catch; it’s the peace of mind it brings. Being out on the water clears my head and gives me a sense of calm that’s hard to find anywhere else.
