Pro-Staff: Clifford Sackett

I am an avid outdoorsman with a total of over 40 years experience in fishing for various species of fish from Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass and Bluegills, to Lingcod and Halibut.

I have been fishing in both amateur and professional Bass tournaments since 1982. My first Federation win was in 1982 utilizing a 16 ft. Bass Tracker with a 40 HP Mercury engine.

I have fished the B.A.S.S. Western Invitational since it's conception with the first event in 1997 held at Lake Powell, Page, Arizona. I also fish WON Bass tournaments as well as various team tournaments and Federation/club tournaments.

I utilize my fishing skills to teach the fundamentals of Bass Fishing and etiquette at a local high school and also at various seminars and outdoor expos in Utah and surrounding states. I am always available to help the novice sportsman and eager to share my experiences and knowledge.

I hold the current Utah State Catch & Release record for Smallmouth Bass which I caught on July 4th, 2003 using a Mojo drop-shot rig.
