Great day of fishing in Alabama today with Chuck Parks - owner of Castaway FishCo in Northport, AL.

Be sure to follow and and support these awesome companies!

BFHoF Class of 2026 spotlight -- Mike Whitaker

As the founding father of Operation Bass and the Red Man Tournament Trail, Mike Whitaker created accessible opportunities and set new standards for professionalism and sponsorship, for countless working-class weekend tournament anglers to pursue their dreams.

Operation Bass was born in 1979. Through a partnership with Pinkerton To***co Company in 1983, the Red Man Tournament Trail was launched, offering anglers a competitive circuit with affordable entry fees and a clear path to the prestigious All-American Championship, where anglers could compete for substantial cash prizes.

The inaugural All-American at Kentucky Lake paid $50,000 to the winner. A year later, Shaw Grigsby won the sport’s first $100,000 tournament paycheck for winning the All-American at Florida's Kissimmee Chain of Lakes.

Mike Whitaker was adept at securing non-endemic sponsorships, bringing companies outside the fishing industry into the fold and elevating the sport's visibility and financial viability.

In 1996, Whitaker sold Operation Bass to Minneapolis business mogul Irwin Jacobs, who expanded its reach and renamed it FLW Outdoors.
