I grew up in a family of hunting and fishing. If your from Southern Illinois, between my dad, me and my two cousins you can bet you'll come across the Estel name somewhere.
I won my first Father/Son Tourney at 8 yrs old, and have been addicted ever since.
My fishing partner Craig Cowan and I recently just won a boat when we placed third at the USA Bassin Classic at Kentucky Lake in May 2010. We currently run a division on the Kaskaskia River for USA Bassin.
I have two boys, a daughter and a beautiful wife. When I'm not in the woods or on the water. I can usually be found at one of their football or baseball games. My family and I respect the great outdoors like my dad raised me.
