Meet Capt'n Coop

I'm Capt'n Coop, a licensed fishing guide and professional tournament angler whose life has been dedicated to one thing—chasing giant bass. What started as a passion has become a lifelong pursuit, taking me across the country competing at many levels of competitive bass fishing. Throughout my tournament career, I've earned wins and top finishes on some of America's most challenging fisheries. That experience has taught me far more than how to catch fish—it has given me an understanding of seasonal bass behavior, advanced electronics, and the strategies needed to consistently locate and catch trophy bass under changing conditions. Today, I bring that same tournament-level knowledge and commitment to every trip through Bama's Best Bass Guide LLC. Whether you're looking to learn a new technique, become more confident with your electronics, prepare for tournament competition, or simply catch the bass of a lifetime, my goal is to provide an unforgettable experience on the water. From first-time anglers to seasoned competitors, every client receives the same dedication, professionalism, and personalized instruction that have defined my career. If you're ready to experience world-class bass fishing on legendary waters like Lake Guntersville, let's go catch the fish you've been dreaming about.

After earning my USCG Captain's License, I launched Bama's Best Bass Guide LLC with one simple mission: share the magic of Lake Guntersville with anglers from all walks of life. Whether you're a first-time angler or a seasoned tournament pro looking to learn new water, Capt'n Coop brings the same energy, knowledge, and dedication to every trip.

I  am a firm believer in catch-and-release fishing. Every bass that comes over the side of the boat goes back in the water — healthy and ready to be caught again. I want Lake Guntersville to remain one of the premier bass fisheries in the country for generations to come.

When I'm not on the water, I'm a family man through and through. I live in Guntersville with my wife and you'll often find me at local fishing tournaments, community events, or just hanging out at Cast and Trail Outfitters in Guntersville talking bass fishing with anyone who'll listen.
