Competitive History
Notable
Ryan is the youngest fishing competitor in this year's Games. He has been training very hard for this event - even building a casting course similar to the one used at the games in his backyard. Ryan has been casting on the course in his backyard daily for the past three weeks and plans on keeping that pace until the event. He feels his ability to think outside of the box and try new techniques will give him a competitive edge.
Quotable
"Sometimes I have to remind myself to slow down, I am the first guy to jump in the water and scare a school of fish."
