The first member of the Worm-Glo Pro Staff was Gaige Tucker. Gaige is 11 and hails from Michigan. He wrote us, “I love to fish and do it well. I fish every weekend but not in winter, for all types of fish. I have caught large mouth bass, small mouth bass, walleye, silver bass, pike, carp, catfish, crappie, and pan fish."

Gaige is a 5th grader at South Arbor Academy in Michigan. He has a large worm farm with his brother and sister, but says he does most of the work with the worms. He also likes to play football and basketball, but his favorite place is on the boat. He hopes to fish professionally one day when he gets out of college. 

Gaige also told us, “I love to turn the worms green and my friends think this is cool.”
