Frank Scalish Jr. is a rising star in the world of tournament angling, with a lifelong love for fishing that began when he was just a young child. Frank’s father, affectionately known as “Uncle Frank,” introduced him to the joys of fishing at an early age, and Frank quickly developed a deep passion for the sport.

After serving in the military, Frank decided to pursue his dream of fishing professionally and joined the BFL circuit in 2022. In his rookie season, he made a significant impact, finishing an impressive 15th in AOY standings and qualifying for the BFL Regional in LaCrosse, WI, where he placed 13th. These accomplishments are a testament to his skills and determination on the water.

Frank is driven by his love of fishing and the thrill of competition, but he also has a deep admiration for his father’s influence on his life and career. He hopes to follow in his father’s footsteps and compete on the Bassmaster Elite Series one day.

Frank is also excited to be a part of Smallmouth Academy, an organization that shares his passion for fishing and dedication to pursuing excellence on the water. He is thrilled to work with other talented and dedicated anglers who share his goals and is confident that they will achieve great things together.

For Frank, fishing is more than just a hobby or a competition. It’s a way of life, a passion that drives him to constantly improve and push himself to new heights. And with his skills, determination, and the support of his fellow anglers, the future is bright for this rising star in the world of tournament angling.
