About PAUL BARUFALDI – 2026 PRO STAFF MEMBER

Paul Barufaldi, a 20-year Air Force veteran originally from Plymouth, Massachusetts, has called Warrensburg, Missouri home since 1996. He continues to serve as a civilian automotive technician for the Air Force, bringing the same dedication and precision to his work that he carries onto the water.

Fishing has been part of Paul’s life since childhood — from riding his bike to local ponds chasing bass, to fishing the New England coastline for bluefish, to deep-sea fishing off the coast of Hawaii. His love for the outdoors remains central to his life, and he enjoys spending as much time as possible hunting and fishing with his sons, Anthony and Brandon, along with family and friends who share that same passion.

Paul has been actively tournament fishing for the past several years, competing in Missouri Bass Nation, Average Joes, Whiteman Intramurals, and local open events whenever possible. Always looking to improve, he spends time studying techniques, learning from other anglers, and building his knowledge of the sport. During the off-season, he can often be found in his garage making lures and carving custom balsa baits by hand.

Paul’s steady work ethic, passion for learning, and genuine love for the outdoors make him a valued member of the Angler’s Port Marine Pro Staff heading into the 2026 season.
