It’s early afternoon on a postcard-perfect Minnesota Day. A light breeze ripples the surface of Little Rabbit Lake. Several hundred yards offshore, Travis Banks and a buddy are comfortably ensconced in his 18-foot bass tracker. They’re quiet, focused on rods and lines and lures. They’re seasoned as well, with many years of bass-fishing experience between them.

For the Challenge

Travis, in fact, has won a reputation for being one of the area’s most accomplished practitioners of the sport. He knows the best lakes, the best stretches of water, the best times of day and year for catching what bass fishers call “big hawgs.” And he does it simply for the challenge, returning fish to the lake after they’ve been caught.

No Place Like Home

Born in Brainerd, Travis has spent more than half his life here. And even when his family lived elsewhere, he’d return each year to spend summer with his grandparents. “In the fullest sense, this has always been my home,” he declares. So when it comes to bass to fishing as well as many other aspects of the Brainerd Lakes area, Travis has experience you can take to the bank.

Sports, Music, Family

In high school and college, where he majored in sales and marketing, Travis was an outstanding football and baseball player. An accomplished guitarist as well, he formed a country-western band at age 16 that toured extensively. These days, he continues to play his guitar and sing at parties, weddings and other special occasions. But nothing is closer to Travis’s heart than family, including wife Tracy and children Nicholas, Justin, Austin, Zachary, and Caitlin. “I’m a big believer that family comes first,” Travis says. “Every moment spent with my kids is precious.”

Invaluable Experience

This devoted father is also an accomplished businessman known for his generosity, integrity and intense dedication to every client he serves. Travis admits to being a workaholic who simply won’t rest until he’s brought a home sale or purchase to a completely successful conclusion. “My clients are a huge priority,” he says. “They appreciate that I’ll be really aggressive on their behalf, that I’ll get their sale or purchase handled for them as quickly and advantageously as possible.” They also know that Travis is fully in tune with the Brainerd Lakes lifestyle as well as thoroughly familiar with the area’s homes.
