Although he has only been fishing competitively for three years, Chris Wilkinson has already compiled a sizeable list of accomplishments. Since 2000, he has had close to 20 top 10 finishes, including ten wins, in the CSXT Classic tournaments, the Midwest Outdoors tournaments and the Hoosier Division of the Wal-Mart BFL tournaments.

"I have been consistant and feel like in time, I will only get better."
