More About Sergio:
Sergio Alfred Arguello is a passionate fisherman with a deep rooted love for the water and the outdoors. His family roots stem from the Caribbean & Central America, both places surrounded by water, where fishing is a way of life. He grew up camping, fishing, swimming and playing all types of outdoor sports. Sergio's love for the sport began when he was 9 years old, while camping with his family and caught his first bluegill and catfish in the same day. From that day on he was hooked and joined North American Fishing club, BASSMASTERS magazine, FLW Outdoors magazine and whatever literature he could get his hands on, to increase his fishing knowledge. "There is just something about feeling that bite on the line, that got me hooked for life" Arguello said. He felt as if the water was calling him and became passionate particularly with bass fishing.
Sergio started his fishing Career as a Senior at California State University of San Bernardino, fishing as a Co-angler with FLW National Guard Western Division in 2007. After Sergio Graduated and earned his BA in Sociology-Social & Behavioral Sciences he continued to fish FLW as a co-angler & local weekend tournaments, practicing on his local bodies of water to one day compete at the elite level. Sergio went Pro in 2014 and since then competed in the ABA, NBW & WON Bass Circuits with 6 top 10's & 2 top 5's, qualifying for the championship through the ABA Travelers division. In 2016 Sergio decided to compete as a Co-Angler again for the Costa FLW Series Western division finishing 21st place at the first event at Lake Shasta. Sergio came back strong for the 2nd event at Clear Lake taking home his first victory and was crowned champion, winning by more than 4 pounds.
Sergio is employed full time as a Business Consultant with a major financial institution and plans his vacation time around competing in major bass tournaments across the country . When Sergio is not working or fishing, he enjoys spending time with his wife and family. Sergio was selected in 2017 to be the Western FLW Ambassador for the FLW Foundation, having the opportunity to host free unified fishing derbies for young anglers & special Olympics athletes.

Sergio's dream is to fish for a living full time on the FLW Tour. While fishing full time Sergio plans on starting a non profit organization that takes underprivileged children fishing, while teaching them life skills such as patience, critical thinking, problem solving, resource preservation & harvesting. Sergio is a passionate bass fisherman who not only loves the sport, but loves showing others how to catch their first bass and getting them hooked on life.
