Cherry’s old-school grub attack on Guntersville
Hank Cherry has had a storied career at B.A.S.S., highlighted by back-to-back Bassmaster Classic victories in 2021. He’d also won an Open in 2012, and a postseason All-Star event in 2013. But despite 15 top ten finishes, he’d never challenged for a regular season Elite win. The closest he’d come was a 4th place finish at Georgia’s West Point Lake in 2013. He hadn’t cracked the top five since 2021.
