Tom Lester II fishes competitively in bass tournaments and enjoys his professional bass fishing career in the BASS circuit. In addition to being a professional angler, Tom has been writing outdoor articles for the past 3 years. His articles appear in his hometown newspaper and on several internet web sites related to fishing. Tom has recently developed an "on-line pro staff" program to help readers by providing an avenue for them to ask a manufacturer's pro staff member questions about products he uses in the professional bass fishing arena.

He and his wife also own and operate Four Seasons Lawnscape, a landscape and lawn maintenance service, in Corsicana, Texas. He has fished for most of his 37 years to some degree or another.

Tom lives with his wife, Kelly, and daughters, Megan and Tatum, in Corsicana, Texas, only a few miles from Richland-Chambers reservoir, one of the hottest new bass lakes to open in Texas in the past ten years. He formerly resided in Cleburne, Texas, where he guided, part-time, for largemouth and smallmouth bass. Tom currently serves on the pro staff for several companies.

Tom enjoys fishing, hunting and writing his outdoor column for the Corsicana Daily Sun and free-lance writing. During the off-season, Tom likes to work outdoor shows and enjoys sharing fishing information with others who enjoy the sport. He is a former high school Agricultural Science instructor and animal health pharmaceutical sales rep. He graduated from Texas A&M University with a B.S. in Agricultural Education and a Master of Education degree.
