Elite rookie getting up close to Seminole bass

Joel Baker is new on the Elite Series this year and is bringing something new to the sport by befriending (and even kissing!) practice bass in hopes of getting on their good side. We don't yet know if this interspecies lovefest will pay off for Joel, but if it does he's going to be kissing a lot of bass across the country this year. 

 

Thanks for the pictures, Joel!
