Rich Tauber


Rich Tauber has been a professional angler, fishing guide, public speaker and promoter his entire adult life. He has never had a "real" job, and is very proud of that. His only gainful employment has come from fishing and the outdoor industry.

His fishing career started in the early seventies. In his rookie season as a professional angler he won the "Western Bass Angler of the Year," nudging out "Hall of Famer" Dee Thomas for the title, and is still the youngest fisherman in history to ever win that title. Four years later he won the largest organized fishing event in the world; the U.S. Open. In 1986 he became a full time tour angler with the "Bassmasters" on ESPN. As a professional he has qualified for the "Super Bowl" of angling, the Bassmaster Classic two times.

Guiding and fishing is not just something Rich does on the weekends, this is his full time job. He started his fishing guide service in 1977, and today is available 7 days a week. Unlike most guides, while on a guide trip, he does not fish. There is nothing worse than hiring a guide who is the first to cast at all the best targets.
