Elites show off their 2016 jerseys

A new year brings a new crop of Elite Series anglers along with the legends of the sport, all competing for the Toyota Bassmaster Angler of the Year. As the Elites gathered in Palatka, Fla. for the first event, we took a moment to photograph their jerseys, showing off their new and existing sponsors. We didn’t get everyoneâ four anglers didn’t have their jerseys ready. J Todd Tucker, Shaw Grigsby, Jason Williamson and Paul Mueller will be fishing on the Elites this year but are not in the gallery. We’ll add them later. Also, this year we’re going to start in reverse order so the guys in the back get some attention.
