BIOGRAPHY

Ron Champion is a seasoned tournament angler who grew up fishing creeks, ponds and reservoirs in middle Tennessee. Started fishing when he was about 5 years old with his dad. Coming over from the Bass Boat side of fishing it didn't take long for Ron to make a impact in the Kayak world. Although Bass fishing is his passion, his most memorable trips are catching Crappie, BlueGill & Catfish with his kids..

Ron is a family man and has a 13 year old son “Branton” and a 9 year old daughter “Makayla”. He has been with his wife “Chrissy” since 2005.. Both kids love to fish and he takes ...them every chance he gets.
