Ron Hobbs, Delivery Route #119
Does a “drop-shot with a 6- or 7-inch Zoom straight-tail worm” mean anything to you? If so, then you may have heard of pro angler Ron Hobbs Jr. of Orting, Washington. Not only is he a Smith Brothers Farms milkman, but last year he placed 6th in the Forrest Wood Cup, a world-championship for bass fishing. His biggest catch was a stringer of 28 pounds of Largemouth Bass. “The coolest part was getting to ride in a Blackhawk helicopter,” he says. The winnings weren’t bad, either.
Ron has been winning tournaments in the Pacific Northwest for more than a decade, primarily on Lake Washington and Lake Sammamish. He’s regularly featured on television and Wild Country radio, and he’s even showcased on fishing trading cards. “I’ve been fishing for as long as I can remember,” he says. “Both my dad and grandpa fished. They started taking me when I was about 1 or 2 years old.” He hasn’t taken his son yet for safety reasons, but he says he will. He has a 16-month-old and another on the way.
Ron likes the four-day work week at Smith Brothers Farms because it gives him the flexibility to spend time with his family and fish, but he says the most rewarding part of his job is seeing all the kids on his route eagerly waiting for him in the window. “I’ve been on this particular route for about 7 years, so I’ve watched a lot of these kids from the time they were born.”
Ron first learned of Smith Brothers Farms in college when he befriended the great-grandson of the founder of Smith Brothers Farms. Ron joined Smith Brothers Farms about 10 years ago, delivering milk to schools. Now he drives 100-plus miles each day, and says that he’s proud of the fact that the products are fresh and he gets milk to his 700+ customers each and every day, even in the snow. He’s a hard worker, which he learned as a child growing up on a family farm in Graham. “I was the only son of four children, so I did most of the outdoor chores. I was also eating organic beef long before it was trendy,” he says.
His customers and fans alike appreciate his work ethic and character, which is captured nicely in a comment posted on Washington Fishing (Washington’s online fishing community): “Junior was, in my opinion, the most approachable and sincere of all six of the guys who fished the final day. Ehrler, Nixon and Meyer are class acts, too, but Hobbs' kindness to the crowd would've made his mama proud. Whenever he was approached by a little boy or girl for an autograph, he'd get down on his knees or squat down so he could talk to them eye-to-eye. And he'd really TALK to them.”
