here’s very little that still needs
to be said about the immense
talent of Major League Fishing
pro Jacob Wheeler. The No. 1 bass
angler in the world, Wheeler (at just 29
years old) has just about done it all
when it comes to tournament bass fishing,
from winning a Forrest Wood Cup
to owning multiple wins on the
Bassmaster Elite Series, a pair of wins on
the Bass Pro Tour and an MLF General
Tire World Championship. He also took
home a Toyota Series Central Division
win on Pickwick Lake back in May.
In June, Wheeler added another trophy
to the mantle with his first regularseason
Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit
win, though there was nothing “regular”
about the stacked field featured in the
Super Tournament on the east
Tennessee waters of Lake Chickamauga
– a fishery Wheeler now calls home. The
best in the business hammered his way
to a 93-12 four-day total with an assist
from some giant largemouths like the
one pictured here.
