   Kevin Koone is a native Arkansas angler.  He was

born and raised in Greenbrier, AR.  Kevin grew up

fishing all over the state, but he considers Greers

Ferry and Dardanelle his home waters.  Kevin is an

avid outdoorsman and loves to fish and hunt.   He

receives a ton of support from his friends and family in

Arkansas, which is a must in the sport of competitive

bass fishing.  He is a member of Lifesong Baptist

Church in Greenbrier.

   Kevin has been aspiring to become a professional

angler his entire life.    He grew up fishing with his

grandfathers and his father.  Kevin began fishing team

tournaments with his father at the age of eight years

old, and he has been addicted to the competition ever

since that time.  After graduating from Greenbrier

High School, Kevin attended Arkansas Tech

University.  During his career at Arkansas Tech Kevin

was able to aid in the start of a university fishing club. 

In his final semester as a college student Kevin

qualified for the College Smashmouth Bass National

Championship on the Arkansas River.  He was

fortunate enough to help Arkansas Tech secure the

National title in that event in August of 2006.

   With a national title under his belt and a degree in

agricultural business, Kevin headed out to chase his

dreams on the FLW Series in 2006.  Kevin fished the

inaugural season of the FLW Series as a co-angler,

and he was blessed with immediate success.  Kevin

won the first ever FLW Series event.  That tournament

was held on Lake Lanier in Georgia.  He has been

successfully fishing national level FLW events ever

since.  Kevin has accumulated numerous top 10

finishes on the FLW Tour and the FLW Series and he

has had multiple Forrest Wood Cup qualifications. 

His dream is to compete as a pro on the FLW Tour. 

Fishing as a co-angler for multiple seasons has

allowed him to learn valuable lessons that will help

him when he makes the big leap to the professional
