Nick Cloutier
Oakley, CA
In his own words
I used to race motocross before this. Now, I have two boys and love spending time with them. I also like spending time developing my own baits and have my own bait company – Cloutier Custom Baits. The colors that I create are for the West Coast and the western fisheries. I am looking forward to the APEX format, the circuit being televised and fishing against the top 32 pros on the West Coast to showcase our skills and see who comes out on top.
Highlights
- 3x Apex top 10 finishes
- 2x wwbt pro am top 10 finishes
- MLF top 10 finish
- Won bass ca open top 10 finish
- 2023 American Bass Association basscat shootout champion
