MEET CHERYL

Background:

Cheryl grew up in a small rural community near Mt. Pleasant, Texas. As the youngest of six children, everyone learned how to entertain themselves in the outdoors. Cheryl's dad loved to fish, but the reality was when he fished, he also did so as a means of feeding the family. It was during those early years on trips to Lake Wright Patman that the love of Bass fishing was kindled. On one particular trip, Cheryl was fishing from the bank on a point. The bait was a blue chrome shallow diver on a Zebco 33. Not really having a clue, when a largemouth bass jumped out of the water to attack the crank bait, Cheryl pulled the bait away out of reaction. The excitement and exhilaration of that moment has been long lasting and until about ten years ago, put on the back burner. It was at that time that Cheryl's best friend asked her to go on a guided trip fishing for bass. Since then, there has been no turning back. It started with joining a local ladies club in the DFW area and progressed to fishing a few tournaments in the former WBFA. From there, Cheryl helped to form a second ladies club in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

Cheryl has just finished her second season with the Women's Bassmaster Tour (WBT) as a co-angler. In 2008, Cheryl will enter her rookie year on the pro side of the WBT. This was the next logical step after two top ten finishes and ending the 2007 season in 16th place.
