Baylon Beasley
5, Florida
All it took for Baylon was one bite and he was hooked on fishing. He caught his first redfish in Choctawhatchee Bay while fishing with his dad, after a tough fight that almost ended with a lost rod. When Baylon isn’t out on the water, he enjoys hunting and catching bait.
Jack Grieve
9, New York
Jack has been fishing since he was 2 and knows his way around a fishing rod. He enjoys catching anything that’ll bite, but his favorites are striped bass, bluefish and porgies. He recently caught this fat striper while fishing off Long Island with his family.
Sebastiaan Avant
9, California
Scooping live bait and cutting chum are just a couple of the reasons Sebastiaan loves to be on the water. Aside from diving and skateboarding, he regularly fishes the Channel Islands on his family’s boat. He recently caught his first California halibut, a 26-pounder.
