WES DAVID BIOGRAPHY

Wes David was born and raised on a cattle ranch near Beiseker Alberta and has called Airdrie, Alberta home for the last 24-years. A former professional bull rider turned professional walleye tournament angler, outdoor writer, and host & producer of Fishing the Wild West TV, a fishing show dedicated to angling throughout western Canada and the northern U.S. States. Fishing the Wild West TV is in its 10th season and currently airing on 8-different US and Canadian networks reaching 18M households.

At the age of six, Wes David began riding steers and graduated to bull riding at age 16. He won a variety of amateur bull riding titles before turning professional at the age of 18. He competed in the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association, The Professional Rodeo Cowboy’s Association (USA) and the Professional Bull Riders Association for nine years until age 27 when injuries ended his career.

During the last few years of Wes’s bull riding career, the writing was on the wall that due to injuries his career as a bull rider would soon be over. At this time, Wes David began apprenticing as a Heavy Duty Mechanic. In four short years of apprenticing and school, Wes gained his red seal journeyman ticket and over the next 15-years, Wes worked overseas in six different countries, in the mines in northern Saskatchewan, and in the Oil Sands in Fort Mcmurray, and worked his way up into management roles.

Wes always had a love for the outdoors, especially fishing. He enjoyed writing in school and began to educate himself on how to write for magazines. To date, Wes David has written over 1500 magazine articles covering all freshwater fish species and fishing for them and many saltwater species. Articles and videos also cover hunting, wildlife and fisheries, fishing gear, outdoor youth, and conservation. In 2016, Wes started his own production company and now owns and hosts the popular fishing show Fishing the Wild West TV. His production company has also been hired to shoot a wide variety of TV commercials and Wes and his team are in the early stages of a second TV project call The Wild Cookhouse.

Wes spends about 125-days on the water each year fishing, videoing, and researching information for magazines, TV, and conservation efforts. Wes is a big believer in conservation, educating about Canada’s fisheries and wildlife, and getting our youth involved in the outdoors.

Wes David credits his diversified success to many of the teachers and coaches he had as a youngster and the lessons they taught him in working hard at whatever you do and not giving up on a dream or goals.

He believes that telling his story and showing the importance and power of setting goals to your students, youth club members, or your company team building events and projects in an ½ hour or one-hour seminar is a valuable lesson in helping kids or your team members understand the importance of setting goals.

His personal story and the power of setting goals and self-talk will give a basic understanding of how every individual is in control of their minds, not only through positive thinking but more importantly through positive reinforcement and self-determination.

I’ve been in the Outdoors Industry for 20-plus years and have worked with many Pro Staff and Influencers at retail, shows, tournaments and TV… we are now going into our 6th season working with Wes David and never have I worked with anyone who (over) delivers as consistently as Wes and Fishing the Wild West TV. The communication and assets coming out of FTWWTV are second to none, we have never been left wondering what he is working on. Wes David’s commitment to educating and entertaining is sincere and approachable to anglers of all ages. He’ll help you catch one more fish! Also, Wes is a great human and my favourite kind of person.

I first met Wes at Thompson’s Camps in 2019 before we both flew out to different camps! We shared breakfast and we got to know each other. We stayed in touch with each other as Covid raged over several years. We renewed our relationship again at Thompson’s in 2022 with a full day of fishing and meals. What impressed me in spending time with Wes and Fishing the Wild West TV, is his following qualities, though there are many more! Humility, Honesty, Willingness to put others needs before his. An unwavering commitment to excellence in all he does (family, friends, his Sponsor’s and his work on Fishing the Wild West TV). I just wish I could catch as many fish as Wes does on Fishing the...
