Looking back at a wild and exciting year of Bassmaster tournament competition.

Scott Martin comes to the Bassmaster Elite Series with potential, and he’d love to realize it by having the family name etched on a Classic trophy.

In many cases, junk fishing your way through a tournament day means weighing a limit of fish caught on five different baits.

Mentally and physically, a tournament angler has to get prepared for the competition.

Two good ways to catch fish in the summertime are on a brush pile with a big worm or by targeting bluegill beds.

The more anglers stay on top of the fishing season and keep a routine going, the better they'll be prepared when competition returns.

'That’s what it’s all about; getting back to our roots, getting back to our heritage, getting back to where it all began.'
