Collin
Content Creation Team
Collin is a member of the New Wave Fishing Academy content creation team. The embodiment of fishing smarter not harder Collin enjoys just being on the water just as much as catching giants. He makes sure the team always has a fun time on the water, makes mean lunches on the bbq, and still manages to consistently put giants in the boat.

Taylor

Taylor is a member of the New Wave Fishing Academy content creation team. There is no quit in Taylor, he will push through the wind, waves, rain, snow and even ice in pursuit of the next big bite. He's addicted to fishing and probably wouldn't ever get off the water if he didn't need to fill the boat back up with gas or get something to eat.

Colin
Content Creation Team
Colin is a member of the New Wave Fishing Academy content creation team. Growing up in the Parry Sound area he always looked forward to weekend fishing trips with his dad on Georgian Bay chasing smallmouth bass. Now he has a passion for chasing the biggest and baddest fish around and is willing to grind 10, 12, and even 14 hours a day for that one bite that you'll never forget. His personal best muskie at 51" came 12 hours in to a 14 hour fishing day.
