Described as "one of the most versatile and well-rounded anglers around," Mark Boyd has been around the fishing scene for over 20 years. An accomplished tournament walleye angler during his years living in North Dakota, Mark divides his time these days chasing "What ever's biting". Since moving to Wisconsin (in the mid-90's) Mark says he's enjoyed not only great walleye fishing, but also the numerous Bass, Panfish and Esox opportunities NE Wisconsin offers.

Mark has worked diligently for years promoting the sport of fishing through TV, Radio, writing and producing videos. Probably best known as "The man behind the scenes" for his work with walleye pros Keith Kavajecz and Gary Parsons, Mark continues to keep very busy writing articles, shooting and editing video and taking photos, as well as being very instrumental in the develpement of The Next Bite website.

Mark has been published in such magazines as In-Fisherman, Walleye Insider, The Next Bite/Esox Angler, Fishing Facts, Midwest Outdoors and others. His video work includes shooting and editing on such titles as Unreal Walleyes, Refined Walleye Tactics, and Trophy Walleye Tips to name a few. Mark also shoots video for the occasional segment of Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World TV and The Next Bite TV series and he's an Associate Producer and the host of the Purina Site Bite's Segment on The Next Bite TV show.

Mark's sponsors include The Next Bite (his job) and Jackie Boyd Photography (his wife).
