JayPee Hey  (John Paul Hey)

Hometown: North side of Chicago, Illinois

Age: 24

Brief Fishing History: I have been fishing for as long as I can remember. It got serious with fishing at about age 12, was a full blown addict by age 16, and have never stopped. You know they say the average male thinks about sex every 6 seconds.... I think about Bass fishing ABOUT EVERY 4 SECONDS. LOL. I fish, eat, sleep.... fish.

(In that order).

Favorite Techniques: A tie between flipping & pitching a jig in the thickest cover I can find, and fishing a topwater hollow frog in the same kind of cover.

Favorite Fishing Destination: The Gölsen River in lower Austria.

Watercraft: My life-jacket.

Tournaments: I fish many small buddy tournaments, and fish as an alternate in some larger events. This year I joined Anglers Choice, which fishes from the Fox Chain of Lakes and placed 7th in my first team event. I have also placed 3rd in the Wisconsin Bass Federation Nation event on opening day 2009 in Wisconsin, and have been in the top-10 in every small open tourney I have fished.

Why associate with StankX Bait Co.: They have great products made by great people. That is a partnership that I would like to be a part of.

Hometown: Chicago, IL and Minocqua, WI

Age: 23

Brief Fishing History: Since the age of two, I credit my father and grandfather for introducing me to this great game and the obsession I have with it. For as long as I can remember, I have always been a multi-species angler and I don't see a reason to change anytime soon. I invest more time and money into fishing than anything else I do in my life.

Favorite Techniques: Power-fishing and covering water with spinnerbaits and crankbaits. Clear water applications for Smallmouth Bass and river fishing for Smallmouths by boat.

Favorite Fishing Destination: Vilas and Oneida County, Wisconsin, and South Florida between West Palm Beach and Miami.

Watercraft: Fiberglass Lund and a smaller rigged aluminum boat for small waters.

Tournaments: You will see me fish Bass tournaments once I get a better boat. It is fast and suitable enough but has no livewell.

Why associate with StankX Bait Co.: I design the website and manage the online presence of this company. I figured I would also help out in other capacities as well since I hope to keep working with various tackle companies in the future.
