I live in Springfield, Missouri and fish all of the Ozark Lakes but find Stockton Lake to be my favorite. Some of my earliest memories are of pulling bluegills over the side of an old boat with my father and uncles growing up in Minnesota. I love to bass fish and enjoy the competion.
I've been a Federation club member since 1994 and I am active in the Missouri TBF Bass Federation. I cut my tournament teeth on Federation events and made the Federation Championship in 2001 and 2002. I fish 25-30 local and regional events each year. I fish a jig any time I can and operate my own lure company, Eiron Breaker Lure Co.
I have became involved in youth angling as Ben Henderson and I direct a TBF youth club in Springfield. Check them out at www.bassrats.com. No tournament win can match seeing the grin on a child's face after they catch their first fish. If you would like to talk fishing sometime, drop me an email at eisenbacher@sbcglobal.net. Tight lines.
