Pennsylvania Angler & Boater • July/August 2013
The Keystone State has produced a good number of
professional bass anglers who have been entering and
sometimes winning competitive events around the
country. While participating in large tournaments on
diverse waterways, they have gained experiences, made
observations and learned lessons, which generate tips that
can help the average Pennsylvania angler catch more bass.
In this article, you’ll get to hear from five bass
pro anglers that make their homes in northwestern
Pennsylvania.
Dave Lefebre, Erie County, is probably the best known
of these interviewees, with prize money totaling over $1.5
million during his 11 years on the pro circuit. Lefebre
has earned Angler of the Year titles in both EverStart
and the former FLW Series competition. Currently, he’s
concentrating on the Walmart FLW Tour majors and the
Forrest Wood Cup, where his blue and orange Kellogg’s
Frosted Flakes tiger boat stands out.
Danny Jones, Erie County, considers Lefebre to be his
mentor. He started fishing bass tournaments while still in
high school. Jones entered the Walmart FLW Tour in 2012,
as well as the Northern Division of the EverStart Series and
the Northeast Division of the Walmart Bass Fishing League.
Clarion County’s Steve Hughes has been fishing bass
tournaments for over 20 years with over 100 wins in
Pennsylvania and the eastern United States including being
named the 2012 Mid Atlantic Division Champion at the
Bass Federation National Tournament.
Paul Hirosky, Crawford County, has shifted gears back
to his first profession as a pharmacist and today enjoys
“fishing for fun,” after five years on the B.A.S.S. circuit
including three years for the prestigious Elite Series.
Destin DeMarion, Mercer County, founded the Gannon
University Bassmasters and after enjoying the FLW College
Fishing circuit in 2011, proceeded in 2012 to national
Bassmaster and EverStart Open tournaments.
