Lewis University Bass Fishing Team

Club President, Joe Skvarla is featured this weeks Flyer Faces!

On his 18th birthday, Joe Skvarla didn’t purchase a car like other teenagers. Instead, he bought himself a fishing boat! His passion for fishing led him to start the Bass Fishing Club.

“It's great being in college and being able to compete all over the U.S. It's a lot of fun, but at the same time you really have to have a business mentality. Luckily, I’m able to have 1-on-1 time with my professors and I can ask questions and bounce ideas off of them. They have a lot of experience to share.” - Joe Skavarla, sophomore transportation, distribution and logistics major.

Not too shabby of a job from Zach and Joe out on Kentucky Lake this week during the 2018 FLW Open! Rough weather and fishing conditions made for a tough tournament! The boys were able to boat 6-14 good enough to finish in 86th place out of 216 boats. That puts them in the top 40% of boats! Joe was able to boat a 5-4 Largemouth despite the conditions! Go get em in April guys!

Happy to reveal our jerseys for our first year! These will look sweet out on the water this year! Look forward to seeing these in action spring break at KY lake!!
