Tom Huynh Bio
I began fishing walleye tournaments in 2020. The first one I fished was on the AIM Pro Walleye Series and I fished it with my buddy and teammate Nate Wolske.
We ended up winning out first event. We went on to get a 4th place and another win in the next 2 events which were the last of the year. In 2021, I entered the full NWT series and AIM team circuit as well. I ended up 2nd in the NWT championship and AIM State Championship and AIM Team of the Year as well.
We followed up with a repeat of AIM Championship and Team of the Year in 2022 along with winning the National Championship. 2023 was another successful season with all top 5 finishes in AIM and a top 5 in NWT AOY. In 2024 I won the NWT Championship and tied in points for AOY.
I just launched a revolutionary new educational fishing platform called Tom Huynh University. Www.fishthu.com.
