Bio :
“Big” Jim, as he is affectionately
known has been an integral part of the
Canadian sportfishing scene for over 25
years now and shows no signs of slowing
down. Having first gained notoriety as a
tournament angler, “Big” Jim was
vaulted into the sport fishing spotlight
with two CFT Canadian Classics...
Canada’s premier tournament title
along with a slew of tournament
victory’s numbering 28 to his credit.

Following his tournament success,
“Big” Jim formed what has become
Canada’s largest FREE fishing
publication – Just Fishing. This
successful publication is presently
entering its 19th year of bringing much
needed angling information to Canadian
and American anglers alike.

“Big” Jim also spent several years
as the host of the Ultimate Fishing Show
before moving on to the current phase of
his career which includes tournament
weigh-in show Emcee, featured speaker at
many of the premier sport shows in
Canada, as well as outdoor writing,
promotional activities, celebrity
guiding and just about anything else
connected with the fishing industry...
including marketing partnerships with
several of the largest and most trusted
names in the business... and a whole
bunch of on the water work.

“Big” Jim was presented with the
CSIA (Canadian Sportfishing Industry
Association) Chairman’s Award in 2008
for his outstanding contributions and
dedication to the growth and
participation of recreational fishing.
Also in 2008, “Big” Jim was named as
the first recipient of the CPAA
(Canadian Professional Anglers
Association) Lifetime Member award. At
the 2009 Spring Fishing & Boat Show
“Big” Jim was awarded the Rick
Amsbury Hall of Fame Award presented by
the Canadian Angler Hall of Fame for
going above and beyond the expectations
of the angling community.
Then in 2011 BIG JIM was inducted into
the Canadian Angler Hall of Fame in the
ANGLER division ...this one means the
most!!!

Travelling over 100 days a year, when
“Big” Jim is not working on Just
Fishing or teaching a kid to cast he
finds time for the family including his
beautiful wife of nearly 28 years Tammy,
their three children – Michael,
Jennifer & Lindsey, granddaughters –
Skye, Emerald & Gracelyn, grandson
Ronin, new granddaughter Charlotte (due
in December) and Buddy & Dazee the very
special springer spaniels.
