Q&A with Jesse Tacoronte

Jesse Tacoronte during a disappointing Day 1 of the A.R.E. Truck Caps Bassmaster Elite on Lake Okeechobee. Day 2 is proving to be a better one for him.

When I was compiling some information about the new Elites, I asked Jesse Tacoronte some questions about himself. In light of him catching 20 pounds in 2 hours of fishing this morning, maybe it’s time we all got to know Jesse a little bit more. 

Where are you from? 

Born in California but raised in Las Vegas.  I was basically a desert rat until moving to Florida in 1996.

When did you start fishing? 

Fishing since I was 4 years old.

What do you do besides fishing? 

I am the co-owner and founder of Enigma Fishing along with my son Cody.

I also own a marketing company that specializes in Internet marketing, and I have been called a serial entrepreneur by many.  

What are your hobbies? 

Hobbies include starting niche businesses, developing new fishing lures, rods, etc., and I forgot…fishing.
