Alton Forthe of BigFishTools.com has been in the bass business a long time. He knows what makes anglers tick, and he also knows how to make them look good. In recent years anglers have marketed themselves in numerous ways – through newsletters, TV, fliers and radio – but unless you own your own TV network or have your own show, getting your face in front of the public is not necessarily easy.

BigFishTools creates and builds angler websites, completes and manages quarterly reports and builds professional résumés for the competitive-angling community. Each site is customized to an angler, and specialized to his or her personality. As well, each site gets you intimately involved with the angler to learn what makes him or her tick.

From music to photos, each page has the individual in mind. Anglers like Edwin Evers, Randy Howell, Aaron Martens, Andre Moore, Tim Horton and Jason Quinn have all entrusted Forthe with making them marketable through their respective sites. The Professional Anglers Association recently enlisted his help, too.

BigFishTools also works with the angler to provide professional-looking quarterly reports for sponsors and media. These are critical for the angler, and allow sponsors to keep up with what he or she is doing to help promote respective products.

If you need a fishing résumés, they can build that as well. You provide the data, photos and ideas, and BigFishTools does the rest.

Detailed discussions, day-to-day contact and flexibility are the forte of Forthe and the developers at BigfishTools.com. They don't just build them – they put their entire energy into each product and always attempt something new and creative. The key to a successful Internet angler presence and profile is very simple: keep it updated.

"Too many anglers build a homepage and never update it," Forthe said. "They become out of date and really don't provide the value the angler is looking for. We work very hard at getting information from the angler, no matter where they are, so we can keep their portfolio fresh. It may mean calling them on the road, late at night or talking to their significant other to track them down. We go the extra mile with each of our customers."
