Bob Izumi

Bob Izumi is Canada's most popular fishing personality and one of the sport's foremost spokespersons. For over 30 years, his weekly Real Fishing Show has educated and entertained legions of anglers, both young and old.

Bob's unmatched credibility in the fishing world is due in part to his incredible success as a tournament angler. In 1979 Bob Izumi became Canada's first full-time professional fisherman and in over three decades of competitive fishing Bob has won more than 50 major events, far surpassing any other Canadian angler. He has won multiple Angler of the Year and Team of the Year titles and he is the only Canadian angler to win the Triple Crown of fishing; capturing the Canadian Open, the Classic Championship, and Angler of the Year title in a single season.

Along with his television show and tournament career, Bob is an award winning author, seminar speaker, conservationist and radio show host. His Real Fishing television show and Real Fishing Radio program are Canada's longest running syndicated series of any kind in the television and radio categories.
