Jimmy Brooks

My Story

Jimmy first discovered fishing while spending time on the bank with his grandad at Belhus Park in Essex, where he caught his first fish – a perch. From that moment he was completely hooked and has never looked back. Over the years he has developed a real passion for competitive match fishing, always setting his sights on qualifying for and competing in the sport’s biggest events.

Jimmy thrives on the pressure that comes with fishing major competitions and enjoys testing himself against the strongest fields possible. Being invited to compete in the Fishub Premier League is something he sees as a huge opportunity, as it promises to be one of the most competitive leagues the sport has ever seen.
