My name is Shane LemMon and I’m 31 years old from Southern California. I grew up fishing in a float tube for largemouth and created a Instagram account called @BassThumbsFishing and branded a slogan “Keep your thumbs ripped” which related with bass fishermen all through the country. That platform on Instagram grew and grew and I got into a kayak and started a podcast focusing on the west coast kayak fishing which has opened a lot of incredible opportunities within the industry. I left the float tube about 4 years ago and started fishing competitively from a kayak. I was fortunate enough to qualify for some of the biggest national trails the sport as to offer including BASS, KBF, ABA and have fished in multiple states through out the country!
