Dj began fishing with their family at a very early age. A natural fishermen he always gave his uncles and grandpa stiff competition. Dj spent most evenings fishing at a local pond as a kid. A St. Louis award-nominated recording artist, Dj spent most of his late teenage years recording, performing, and building an audience with very little if any fishing. After being invited on a float trip in 2018, in a buddies Jackson Cruise 10, he was instantly hooked again. By 2019 he was winning monthly online events. In 2020 he joined his first club Moyak and won Rookie Angler of the Year. In 2021 he finished 2nd out of 111 anglers in Moyak's biggest event of the year on Table Rock Lake and multiple first-place KPR events. In 2022 he won KPR Winter Angler of the Year and finished 2nd in the Championship. From fishing backwater shallow lakes in Illinois to highland reservoirs in Missouri, Dj is always confident and ready to go. A father of 4, a recording artist, pro kayak fisherman, and a hockey player, there is never a dull moment with Dj. He uses a Bite FD for smaller lakes and a Big Rig FDHD for tournaments, both equipped with Jackson's E drive. With his GoPro always rolling, he is prepared for anything on the water and is one of the most confident anglers you'll ever meet! Check out his content on YouTube or Facebook @oxfishin
