Jacek Gawlinski (Jacky)

My life is fishing. My passion is fishing. I first started fishing when I was 6 years old in Poland. I learned how to river fish and trout fish. Here in the USA, I have gained a wealth of good experience. I personally feel that growing in every part of my life is important and that is why family, friends, and fishing are all very important to me. I spend a lot of time fishing, and I am constantly looking for new fishing technology. As an editor of a Polish/American Fishing Magazine called ?Zew Natury? I write about great new fishing technologies from the USA and from Poland. At the moment, I represent Poland while competing in the NAIFC Tournaments. My biggest success in fishing is winning First Place at the tournament at Silver Lake in New York. To obtain this success I worked diligently with my teammate Zbyszek. With his help, my love of fishing has come to a different level. Every time I think about organizing and planning fishing trips, I get very excited, because I love fishing so much. In the future I would like to be a Professional Fisherman and a Guide.

Fishing has been my passion for over 31 years. The countless hours I have spent fishing on river has helped to increase my experience and skills. This is why I try to spend as much time by the river as possible. Fishing for me is not only rewarding, but it is very relaxing. I have learned many different techniques for fishing, however my favorite is ice fishing. When Jacek and I were partners in the 2008 NAIFC I was responsible to locate the best spot to find the biggest fish for our success. For me this was a very good experience that I will definitely use in the future. Fishing is my passion and when fishing under Catch and Release rules, I am grateful for every fish I catch, no matter what the size.
