An International TV fishing presenter/commentator, Kim has worked on such productions as ESPN’s Great Outdoor Games (Emmy award winning) & Bassmaster Classic (in 2004, 2005 and 2006) and fishing programs with 12 different production houses, including a five series (70 episodes) show in Australia; the USA’s In-Fisherman and FLW Outdoors on FSN.
