Clay Dyer

I am Clay Dyer, brought into this world on May 23, 1978, in the welcoming town of Hamilton, Alabama. I’ve built a career as a professional sport bass fisherman.

I came into this world a little different, born without lower limbs, no left arm, and only a partial arm on the right. My life’s guiding phrase is, “If I can, you can.”

CLAY DYER IS A BLESSING. Those of us who know him never see his handicap. I don’t believe he has ever seen it. Clay has made a discovery that most of us are yet to make about ourselves. Each of us was created to be a blessing.

CLAY FISHES at the level just below the top pro tours in the field. I am amazed that a kid with his limitations can play at that high of a level…What an inspiration Clay is. He never complains about anything. He just looks forward to each new day and each new challenge with eager anticipation. I know of no man who has gotten more out of his potential than Clay Dyer.
