Episode #60 Rich Tauber - Former US Open Champ / Fishing Guide

Guy talks bass with former US Open Champ and fishing guide Rich Tauber.Rich has been a professional angler, fishing guide, public speaker and promoter his entire adult life. In fact, he has never had a “real” job, and is very proud of that. His only gainful employment has come from fishing and the outdoor industry. His fishing career started in the early seventies. In his rookie season as a professional angler he won the “Western Bass Angler of the Year,” nudging out “Hall of Famer” Dee Thomas for the title, and is still the youngest fisherman in history to ever win that title. Consequently, four years later he won the largest organized fishing event in the world; the U.S. Open. To this day he is still the youngest U.S. Open Champion ever. In 1986 he became a full time tour angler with the “Bassmasters” on ESPN. As a professional he has qualified for the “Super Bowl” of angling, the Bassmaster Classic two times. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
