No stranger to the water many of Blake‘s influences as a child were professional fishermen and charter captains. He began his life in the fishing industry at a very young age. These connections led a young Blake at the time to many of the resources and techniques that he now uses as his own. This early love of the sport lead Blake to very early success at the local and world stage. At the age of eleven he won his first fishing derby and by thirteen he had two Freshwater I.G.F.A. world records in the book.
While maintaining a steady presence in the Freshwater tournament world, Blake started moving up the ranks in the Saltwater circuit quickly. Fishing in the IFA Redfish Tour and IFA Lucas Oil Pro Am as a pro, Blake found himself with opportunities to become one of the only cross over professionals in the industry starting in 2015. This came shortly after posting a second place Angler of the Year that same year in the Pro Ams. This success led to Blake making a full time crossover to the FLW Tour in 2016 and the rest has been history.
