**Wassup gang — I’m Armando 🎣**
Host of the *Bass, Kayak & Beers* Podcast. Moved to Texas in 2010 and ever since I’ve been obsessed with hauling big bass out of the weirdest urban spots — kayak, cold beer, chaos. If you’re into tight lines and louder laughs, follow my socials. Tight lines, y’all.

Josh Chitwood, Co-Owner
Hi, I’m Josh. Raised in a family of dedicated outdoorsmen and tournament anglers, bass fishing has been a central part of my life for over 30 years. My passion goes beyond just putting fish in the boat, I love breaking down techniques, sharing tactics, and helping other anglers level up their game on the water.

Eli Self, Team Dark Horse
Hi my name is Eli Self, I grew up fishing with my grandpa and have since dove head first in the fishing rabbit hole. I love studying anything and everything bass fishing. I will fish anywhere but at the top of the list is River smallies.
Ryan Parker, Co-Owner
I’m Ryan and I like fishing. No, seriously I like it a lot! At heart I am a river rat but a decade of tournament angling has rounded me out into a well versed bass angler. I grew up with limited tackle and had to make what I had work, this developed a passion for lures and understanding how they work or how I could make them work.
Tyler Bean, Team Dark Horse
My name is Tyler Bean. I bring a blend of tournament experience, passion for the water, and visual storytelling to the team at Dark Horse Tackle. As an avid kayak angler specializing in freshwater and river bass patterns, I spend most of my time chasing fish in everything from shallow coastal rivers to competitive tournament waters.
Clayton Carter, Team Dark Horse
Hey, I'm Clay. I am follower of Christ, kayak angler, and tournament competitor from Ohio. I’m passionate about chasing big bass (especially Smallies), breaking down new water, and pushing myself to become a better angler with every event. I am blessed to be on the water and give God the glory through the journey.
Fish hard. Stay humble. Give God the glory.
