Stein Team Fishing is Pat’s main sponsor and manages his operation. Andy Stein is an entrepreneur, furniture designer, and major fishing enthusiast. He and Pat met in 2005 at the furniture market in High Point, NC and they created Stein Team Fishing after a day on the lake together. Although Andy primarily fishes the ocean for mackerel, tuna, and marlin, they both share a love for game fishing and that great feeling of hooking a trophy fish. Andy’s love of sport fishing drew him to Pat’s dream of fishing in the Elite Series. He closely follows Pat’s progress and hopes to see him at the very top of the sport.

Pat has always been a big fan of Ranger Boats. He is convinced they make the best bass boat in the world. Pat has used Ranger for twenty years, and today rides in a Z Series 520. With each model, he is continuously impressed by their ability to improve upon each design. One of Pat’s favorite features is the large beam that allows for a very stable ride at high speeds, ensuring him of safety. He also raves about the large casting deck that gives him plenty of room, and the short freeboard that allows him to chase bass into shallow water. Pat has also been equally impressed by Ranger’s technical service team and support. The prime quality of Ranger Boats and their unmatched service makes it easy for Pat to be one of their most loyal users.
