Joel Stokka

Joel fishes competitively in regional pro-am and local tournament circuits throughout the upper mid-west. Joel has earned himself a reputation as one of the best slop water bass rats in Minnesota! In addition to being a competitive angler, Joel has written several bass fishing articles that have appeared on several internet bass fishing web sites and in local sports magazines.

Joel enjoys working with his sponsors and local tackle reps at trade shows and seminars. This exposure provides an avenue for anglers to ask a manufacturer's pro staff member questions about products he uses in the professional bass fishing arena. During the off-season, Joel likes to work outdoor shows and enjoys sharing fishing information with others who enjoy the sport of bass fishing. Joel is also the tournament director for Excel Bass and Chairs the Minnesota Sport Fishing Coalition.
