MEET JUSTIN

From club tournaments to college fishing to the Elites- I have been chasing my dream for 15 years now. Fishing is something I grew up doing with my dad which transpired quickly into a lifelong dream to make this a career. I am currently fishing my fourth year on the Bassmaster Elite Series. When I'm not fishing, which isn't often, I'm in the deer woods or with my family. I have a 2 year old daughter and a 4 year old son. I have been married to my wife, Tessa, for 7 years now. Whether it is fishing or hunting, we are all in as a family. "Team Atkins" takes a village and I believe I have one of the best.
