Alex Klein
In his own words
Highlights
Behind the Angler
Alex’s father (Steve Klein) had a fishing rod in his hand as soon he could walk. “My dad has taught me everything I know about fishing and I’m so lucky that he introduced me to fishing at such a young age” says Klein. Alex fished his first team tournament with his dad when he was in the 4th grade, and they won! The rest is history. Alex started fishing every team tournament that he could with his father. Alex then went onto Chico State and got his bachelor’s degree and fished on the Chico State Bass Team qualifying for two Collegiate Bassmaster National Championships. Following his college graduation Alex entered his first professional tournament with Wild West Bass Trail. You can follow Alex on Facebook and Instagram @alexkleinfishing .
In the Boat
Shallow-water power fishing is Alex’s first choice. “If I can catch them on reaction lures like crankbaits, spinnerbaits, buzz baits, frogs, and smaller swimbaits then that’s how I want to catch them” says Klein. Alex also loves to pull out his St. Croix flipping stick and go to work! “Flipping is one of my favorite things to do and I will flip any chance I get” says Klein. “St. Croix rods make it so easy to throw all these different techniques. The sensitivity and attention to detail of their rods is unmatched.” Alex runs a Vexus VX20 and if you were to look inside it you would find that it can hold all his St. Croix rods, all his reaction and flipping baits, as well as the always reliable Senko! To help Alex navigate and to help find fish Alex is running Lowrance electronics and a Ghost trolling motor along with the active target. “The new forward-facing sonar is a game changer and something everyone should have on their boat” says Klein.
