Mark Pilgrim - Professional Bass Angler
Welcome! Based in Chester, CA, my wife and I enjoy fishing on our home lake of Almanor. I’m passionate about fishing and everything that comes with it, and I’m committed to sharing my love and expertise with others. Fishing is more than just a hobby for me; it’s a way of life. Whether you’re looking for a guided fishing trip, tips on catching more fish, or just to share in the joy of this incredible sport, I’m here to help. Let’s fish together and create unforgettable memories.
Let me tell you a little about myself.
I was born and raised in Plumas county in our quaint little town of Chester Ca. I had a great childhood, spending time with family, fishing and enjoying the thousands of hiking and biking trails around Lake Almanor. I moved away after high school for a short time while attending school in Chico Ca, but quickly returned to the area accepting a job with UPS in Quincy, where I worked for 28 years retiring as a circle of honor employee. During my 28 year career as a delivery driver I spent several season’s fishing team’s circuits including Anglers Choice and WON Bass. As I neared the end of my working career I proceeded to start fishing more Pro/Am series events molding my future towards retirement and becoming a staple in the professional industry.
Along with my wife Erica and the many sponsors that support me, we move to the BAM Pro Tour traveling the west coast in 2024-2025 creating great memories and showcasing talents that will take my professional career to new heights.
Remaining a guide on my home lake at Almanor will always be my passion, seeing a youngster or weekend angler make a catch of a lifetime is life changing.
