Bassmaster Classic contender and Bassmaster Open Champion, Bobby Bakewell and Bassmaster Open Angler and 44 Tackle Owner, Chris Kingree talk fishing strategies, tournament results, fishing techniques and much more. This is a long one, but full of laughs and entertainment. Stick around. The last 20 minutes are all outakes! Guest Spotlight Bobby Bakewell Bobby Bakewell was born and raised in Orlando, Florida, and is 26 years old. His whole life, he's been fishing, starting with his dad in club tournaments when he was 8 years old. Once he started high school fishing, he really got the desire to make his living tournament fishing. Bobby graduated in 2017 , and over the span of 7 years, he progressed from co-angler in the Toyota Series and Bassmaster Opens to boater in the Toyotas and Invitationals to now, the Bass Opens. He has had a lot of success in the Toyotas and Opens over the years. It took two 2nds and a 3rd in Toyotas before Bobby finally got his first win in a Bassmaster Open on Lake Martin to qualify him for the Bassmaster Classic. Bobby narrowly missed the Elite Series by two places this year but is eager to make that dream come true in the near future!
