Aaron Martens is one of those rare talents whose potential preceded his arrival to the CITGO Bassmaster Tournament Trail.

The buzz began in the late 1980s and early '90s while the California teenager was teaming with his mother to dominate the Castaic-area team tournament scene. With his mother, Carol, as his partner, the duo took Angler-of-the-Year honors 11 times en route to becoming a dreaded force in southern California tournaments.
