Jesse Wiggins on the weigh-in stage is most recognized for the tiny B.A.S.S. logo patch attached with a safety pin to his no-logo shirt. On the water he’s becoming recognized for doing what matters most. Catching bass. Consistently.
Consider what’s happened to the young Alabama angler over the past 12 months. Two wins at Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Opens. A third win on the line at Cherokee Lake. A consistent year in the Southern Opens that got him into the Elite Series.
That ticket got punched nearby at Douglas Lake in May 2016. Ironically, Wiggins today said he’s duplicating some of what he found on Douglas.
That is a sign of gaining experience and recognizing how to apply that knowledge elsewhere. When it clicks in the mind someplace else, and you know how to duplicate the tactic with success, you have the makings of a successful start as a pro.
