Crews Succeeding On Both Ends Of Business

John Crews says he’s always been a multi-tasker.

“Going back to when I was real young and when I was in high school, I always got my best grades while I was playing sports,” he said. “Those times in between when I had lots of free time, I didn’t do as well because there wasn’t a time crunch on getting things done.

“I manage my time better when I’ve got a bunch of things going on at once.”

He’s exhibited that over the past 3 years while competing on the Bassmaster Elite Series and also operating his own company, Missile Baits. He’s posted three consecutive Top-20 finishes in the Toyota Tundra B.A.S.S. Angler of the Year (AOY) race after ending up 30th in the 2011 campaign.

“Some of it’s also having fished full-time for 12 years now – I know what I need to do to be prepared for each event. It’s a combination of my personal nature and having that much experience to rely on.”
