For Fred Valentine,The Bassman, fishing is not just a hobby, but a way of life. Fred has been fishing Wisconsin for 40 years and has been fishing Polk County for over 30 years. Most of the time he's out on the water or ice. When he's not fishing he's working on making big bass baits. The baits are all hand made and painted using good quality supplies and economically priced. Fred makes what has worked best for him and he's helped a lot of people catch the biggest fish they've ever caught.
"The most successful fishermen are chronically optimistic. They believe...in their bones...every single cast will bring a strike"
Dr. Paul Quinnett
