Ask anyone competing in fishing tournaments
who they look out for and you'll consistently hear the name
Stephen Johnston. And that isn't just on his East Texas home
waters of Sam Rayburn and Toledo Bend. He is considered a threat
on any body of water with proven performance as far away as Lake
Amistad to the West, Kentucky/Barkley to the North, and the Gulf
of Mexico to the South.
His talents stem from a lifetime of
experience fishing in waters that range from rivers to
reservoirs, shallow to deep, stump fields or thick grass. He has
had to learn to work a range of techniques and lures that apply
to all of these situations and can use them to his advantage in
tournament situations.
Combine this talent with an outgoing,
friendly personality and you've got a competitor who is not only
respected, but well liked among his peers. He is an angler who is trusted as a knowledgeable and helpful
person; one that other anglers turn to for advice and follow his
lead.
He is a team player with proven success in
the highly aggressive team circuits that are part of the East
Texas fishing legacy. (No other place in the country can claim
that their team tournaments are more competitive or draw fields
like those do on Sam Rayburn or Toledo Bend.) This has been
proven over the years as he and his partners have consistently
finished in the top 10% of competitors.
He shines when relying on his own expertise
however and has proven that time and again while competing in
regional draw or Pro-Am formatted events. A row of plaques from
the major tournament circuits hangs as testament to this.
A respected competitor, skilled angler,
friendly personality, team player, and independent go-getter;
these are the traits of a successful competitive angler. These
are the traits found in Professional Angler Stephen Johnston.
