Meet The Team - Matt Henry

Matt Henry has been bass fishing competitively since 1999, when he was just 11 years old. Fishing has been a part of his life since he was a young boy learning techniques used by his father. Matt joined the Junior Bass Busters, the first youth bass club established in Georgia, based out of Conyers in 1999. He fished with the youth club until he graduated high school in 2006. In that time frame he won (3) Georgia Junior State Championships, and fished in (3) Junior World Championships where he represented the State of Georgia.

After high school, Matt went on to college at Georgia College & State University where he founded the Georgia College Bass Fishing Team. He served as team president for multiple years and had many great tournament finishes throughout his college career. Matt's childhood dream was to become a full time pro fisherman one day and he is currently making those dreams come true. He is now fishing the pro side of the FLW Outdoors BFL (Bass Fishing League) and many other local and regional tournaments. When Matt is not fishing a tournament or out on the lake guiding, he likes to volunteer his time by giving back to youth fishing programs.
