Welcome to the Kyle Schauf Professional Fishing web site, home of a young and upcoming tournament bass fisherman. Take a moment to check out my story, recently updated schedule & results, photos, tips and articles.

As important as competitive fishing is to me, I take my sponsorships just as serious. I do not support or pursue product sponsorships that I do not fully believe in and use. So take some time to check out my great sponsors and their products.

Although new to the tournament scene, I have spent countless hours on the water preparing to launch a successful tournament angling career. Check the Kyle Schauf Fishing site often to see the latest updates, tips, and what they're biting on!
