Tom Edwards

My Story

Tom first started match fishing at the age of 14 and quickly became involved in junior competitions. His early success came through the national junior circuit where he won the Junior National Championships two years in a row, both individually and as part of the winning team. From there he progressed into the senior ranks, competing in qualifiers, major finals and festivals across some of the country’s leading commercial venues.

Since moving into the open match scene Tom has built a strong record with numerous festival wins and appearances in major finals. Being invited to compete in the Fishub Premier League was an opportunity he couldn’t turn down, and he is looking forward to testing himself against some of the best anglers in the country across a range of different venues.
