Over the past 30 years, Captain Steve Lassley has lead and innovated fishing in the Eastern Pacific. Steve is an expert at all aspects of the fishing game, including finding fish, boat handling, and tackle selection and rigging. In addition to these talents, Steve is outstanding at leading tournaments teams, which requires excellent communication skills, boat management, budgeting savvy, and all the other aspects that go into operating a program such as Team Bad Company. Steve has elevated to the top of this game and many believe that we are witnessing a legend at work. We are all very fortunate to have Steve leading the team.

This year, Steve’s boat designing skills have been showcased as Team Bad Company has been awarded its own signature series of boats from Viking Yacht Company, The Bad Company Editions (BCE). BCE are designed by Steve Lassley and will forever change the West Coast new yacht industry. It's the first time a West Coast turnkey tournament boat can be purchased without extensive after market modifications. A BCE is the exact boat that Steve Lassley and Team Bad Company use for all of its tournament fishing.

20 years of tournament fishing has yielded Steve the all time record of over $6 million dollars in prize money. His winning record is unprecedented, and includes multiple wins at every major West Coast tournament, including two championships of the world's richest event, the Bisbee’s Black and Blue.

Steve's wizardry in boating electronics has been a major factor in his success. His comprehension of these systems has helped Furuno create innovative designs and improvements with their sonar and depth sounder products. Steve has also been instrumental in the popularity of gyroscopic binocular usage and the adaptation of these products to fishing applications.

Captain Steve Lassley is a rare gem in today’s big game fishing world. He is a complete professional who possesses the work ethic, integrity, and leadership that constitute a true champion. He is indeed a legend that we are all privileged to have the opportunity to benefit from.
