Ray Ludkevicz
Ray began fishing at the age of five when his dad took him fishing on the Chicago lake front to catch Jumbo Perch. As the years progressed Ray would head up to Northern Wisconsin and Minnesota in pursuit of Trophy Walleye and Northern Pike. He won his first Walleye tounament on Lake Vermillion in the early 1970s.

In the early1980s he got bitten by the bass fishing bug and has not recovered yet! Ray has pursued both largemouth and smallmouth bass through out the United States and Mexico.

Ray started fishing local tournaments in Northern Illinois and won two tournaments on Mark Twain in Missouri. He is also one of the first to write articles, guide and do seminars on Heidecke Lake (Collins) in Morris, Illinois.

Ray joined Jim DaRosa as co-host on the Fishing Line and Outdoor show in 1990 and enjoys the friendships they achieved with their listeners.

Ray has enjoyed being a part of the press involved at Two Bassmaster Classics and two Superstars Tournaments in Peoria, Illinois.

He has been a field tester and on pro-staffs for major tackle companies for the last 25 years and enjoys promoting new tackle and techniques.

Ray recently got back into hunting with co-hosts Jim DaRosa and Don Dziedzina and is always looking forward to their next adventure.
