Colby -

Good start - recommend working with it regularly to strengthen.  A couple of recommendations:

1) Up top I'd change this information to reflect contact info.  Most important words in a resume are your name.  Your contact info is right up there in importance with your name. 

Name: Colby Howell
Address: XXXXXXXXX
Phone: XXXXXXXXXX
Email: imurplacebo@aol.com

The rest of the information you had up top is nice to know information - and I'd work it into follow-on resume' information.
 
Home Lake : Smith Mountain Lake
Home River : Roanoke River , New River, and James River
Age: 22

2) You start many of your sentences with the word "I".  I'd change things up a little there.

3) You have worked in the information here that I'd remove from up top, but I would move the first sentence elsewhere since it doesn't really fit the subject of this paragraph.  Spell check everything - mispelled words and improper grammar are big killers of resumes.

My home lake is Smith Mountain Lake, but I also enjoy fishing the Roanoke, James, and New Rivers.  Although my current status is amateur, my fishing abilities and knowledge of the fishing industry are improving every day.  A desire to succeed and a love for bass fishing are things I have an in abundance.  I'd love to help expose new customers to your company's products.  Contact me via the information provided above.

4) remove "Resume" - assume the potential sponsor can figure out that this is a resume'.

Like I said - good start.  Keep working on it - these things take time to get just right.  You've taken the initiative and started your resume - that is the biggest step in the process.  Will be glad to review any follow-on products.
