How They Started - Jacob Wheeler Classic XLV (2015)

Here we are at Classic XLV (2015) talking with none other than Jacob Wheeler and hos he got his start in bass fishing. The video was recorded during the Bassmaster Classic Media Day – the day between practice and the first day of competition.

In this video Wheeler talks about being three years old and already having been bit by the fishing bug. He goes on to describe how, by age 6 or 7, he already knew he wanted to be a professional bass fisherman.

An interesting fact is this was Wheeler’s first Classic. He went from here and in four short years became the best angler in the world. Sit back and listen to how Jacob describes his journey to becoming one of the most feared anglers on tour.
