About BRIAN YOUNG

My name is Brian Young.  I live on Lake Eufaula and coach/teach at Checotah High School for the last 14 years. I am the Offensive Coordinator at Checotah Football and coach the 6th grade boys’ basketball team. I love to watch college football, love the Oklahoma Sooners. I’m a baseball guy at heart, I played 4 years of college ball at EOSC and ECU on full scholarship. I am an Atlanta Braves fan, have been for years. I deer hunt a little bit when football season allows. I absolutely love camping with family and with the friends I’ve made through crappie fishing in Oklahoma.

In 1996, my dad took a church in Eufaula and one of the men in the church took us crappie fishing at Eufaula Cove Marina and it was over from there, I loved it!  I was hanging out at the tackle shop one day, the owner pointed at me and said that boy will take you fishing.  The rest is history.  It provided a way for me to teach crappie fishing to others.
