Marc Townsend
Professional Angler/Guide
Western Touring Pro

As a Western touring Pro since 1995 Marc has finished in the top 10 in All Star Bass, Red Man, Wild West Bass, BASS Federation, Everstart and BASS.

Marc joined the “Shake Rattle & Troll” family in 2004 with his own feature “Out of the Dark with Marc”. When touring Marc calls in his unique point of view on the current tournament and when in the studio he shares his “Zen” approach to fishing: take care of your body and “be one with the fish”.

Marc’s stories of being taught to fish by his Grandfather and “fishing poor” have been a favorite of the Shake Rattle & Troll listeners and his professional insight is appreciated by our anglers.

“A good sense of humor is important and we need to show people that although we are serious about our fishing, anglers are good sports and will encourage each other even when their own bag is empty at weigh in. Fishing can be hard work, but it also can be fun and rewarding. This is what I want people to know about our sport.”
