Brad Krauss, 42, resides in the scenic Finger Lakes Region of New York with his wife Nicole and their two children, Blake (11) and Lily (24). Outside of fishing, Brad manages a collision repair center in Ithaca, NY. He\u2019s been married for 19 years and enjoys balancing work, family, and time on the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brad\u2019s passion for fishing began early in life, though he had to teach himself through magazines like In-Fisherman<\/em> and Bassmaster<\/em> and by watching every fishing show he could find. His tournament journey started in his mid-20s with local catfish derbies\u2014where he won a boat and motor package that ignited a deeper competitive drive. In 2020, Brad entered the BFLs as a co-angler and bought his first bass boat in 2021 to fish from the front deck. His competitive highlights include a 3rd place finish in the 2023 ABA Open Series on Cayuga Lake and a 2nd place finish (with Big Bass honors) in the 2024 ABA AFT on the same lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Brad doesn\u2019t claim a single favorite technique, his versatility shines. From scoping smallmouth on alewives, flipping largemouth in milfoil, to cranking rocky flats\u2014his home waters of New York offer the perfect training ground to develop a well-rounded skill set. The competitive nature of tournaments keeps him sharp, but at the heart of it all, he just loves being on the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
