Alabama native and first-year Elite pro Scott Canterbury provides us with an inside look at his Man Cave. He warned us that thanks to his schedule, he was in the middle of getting packed for New York, so a few things may seem out of place. Normally, he's a very organized guy.

Canterbury carved a very successful career on the FLW Tour before joining the Bassmaster Elite Series for the 2019 season. Here he starts in one corner of his Man Cave with an impressive stash of NetBait.

Now onto organized chaos. Again, he reminded us that he's about to head north for a few weeks, so things are not in their usual fashion.

This box is specifically filled with Cayuga lures. A tournament he's greatly looking forward to (he ended up finishing 11th).

One of the latest additions to his Man Cave is an ice maker. He said it's been an amazing addition to his list of conveniences, "Having ice at the ready for fishing trips, or during cookouts is a must. I love having this thing."

Note the TV on the wall. He works on tackle and preps his boat for each event in this location. And if the Alabama Crimson Tide is on, he can multi-task.

When he and his wife designed the house, they agreed to a built-in vac system, that he admitted he didn't like all that much to begin with. "After I needed to clean out the Tundra and Skeeter a few times, I fell in love with the vac system. It's been super handy."

His garage/Man Cave is long enough he can keep the truck hooked up to the boat at all times if need be.

Jay Yelas has kept his boat at Canterbury's between tournaments. Yelas lives in Oregon, so it's a big help.

I asked if he keeps a garden, hence the tiller. He said nope, but he's got a tiller.

To keep with the Man Cave theme, Canterbury keeps a couple of deer heads on the wall too. This one from Illinois.

Here's a look at his Skeeter's primary console. Canterbury does a lot of work from here.

He keeps a shot fan overlooking his boat, which has proven very handy if his rig gets wet and needs to dry out. A brilliant idea, actually.

The second area considered a part of his Man Cave is in his main living room, just upstairs from his main area. Here are a bunch of his trophies from his years on tour.

Canterbury said to pardon the current state of his outdoor cooking area, he loves to entertain and grill and smoke food, and just a night or two prior he hosted a party.

"I love fellowship mixed with good food. If you like to eat, stop by, I'd love to feed you," he lauged.

Of course there's a TV mounted above the outdoor fireplace in case Alabama football is taking place.

He's got a regular gas grill, a charcoal grill somewhere, a Green Egg and a Masterbuilt smoker. He's prepared for just about anything.

"This is my favorite area," he said. "Good fellowship happens here, and I love that."
