Meet Tom Lester II
|
Tom
Lester II is a family man who lives in Corsicana, Texas with his daughter Tatum.
He has fished the Bass Anglers Sportsman Society Central Invitational
tournament trail (58th for the 1999-2000 season), the FLW Everstart Series and
several other professional-level bass fishing tournaments. He is now enjoying
the competition on the FLW Redfish Tour. Sought-after for
endorsements by numerous leading outdoor product companies, Tom’s name appears
alongside some of the industry’s most well reputed brands. Abu-Garcia, Bill Lewis Lures, and EZ Retriever number among more than
a dozen Tom Lester sponsors. He also serves as pro staff for P-Line and as a field staff
member for Bulldog lures, Lure Eyes sunglasses, H&H Plastic Rattles and
more. These positions draw from more than just his pro angling accomplishments.
They also demonstrate his knowledge of the equipment and his will to provide the
best possible fishing experiences for everyone --- even his competitors on the
BASS circuit. Such dedication to the sport is not surprising, considering that he comes
from a line of anglers --- his father is also a tournament fisherman. Plus, Tom
has fished for nearly all his life. Even when he’s not fishing, Tom maintains a close connection to the
outdoors. Before moving to Corsicana, he was a part-time guide for largemouth
and smallmouth bass in Cleburne, Texas. For several Commanding a Masters degree in Agricultural Education from Texas A&M University, Tom doesn’t just handle his business on the water. He helps his wife operate Four Seasons Lawnscape. The company gives him a perfect application for his background in agriculture and education --- he designs, sells and executes landscaping design concepts, as well as educates his customers on landscape needs. As co-owner of the company, he also has the freedom to set his own schedule --- leaving him ample time to promote outdoor products. Tom taught Agricultural Science for high school students and also played a part in animal health during his tenure as a Territory Manager for Fort Dodge Animal Health. There, he consulted with veterinarians and distributors and handled customer service issues.
