Leo Stakos

Thinking back as a kid, I can't remember an age not fishing. Camping was a big thing to our family of six. We would be packed to the roof in the family station wagon set out for a weekend of family fun, sun and fishing. Whether it would be hooking them in a little row boat out on a quiet northern lake at dawn or just tossing a line at the end of Frenchman's Bay in Pickering. Life couldn't get better for this seven year old boy. As I got older my love for fishing only grew. In my early teenage years I tried many a time to recruit my friends to the great outdoors of fishing. Some had alternative plans, their reply being " What's with this fishing thing anyways?!" Nevertheless I fished all the more. In the past years we have had a lot of fun between the tournaments, radio shows, commercials, trade shows and filming our own TV show " FISH TV!"; however my favorite memories and times I'm most thankful to god for are with my own family. Fishing off the dock at the cottage and hearing one of my little girls shouting "Fish On Daddy". In a world that just keeps getting busier it sure is great to know that some things don't have to change. So if your still one of those people asking, " What's with this fishing thing anyway ?" I'm here to tell you, " Get out there, drop a line and I know you'll be hooked too!" Stay Safe and Keep Fishing! - Leo Stakos

Ron James

Ron has been fishing for over twenty years. He started fishing when he was just a youngster with his father Bill James (god rest his soul). He moved onto tournament fishing as his passion grew. With numerous wins and top finishes, the next step had to be taken. He met Leo and the unstoppable force of Fish TV "is the best thing that has happened to me". My goal is to teach everyone what I have learned over the years from all of my experiences. Stay Safe and Keep Fishing! - Ron James
