A professional bass angler, James Watson.

James Watson is the man behind James Watson Fishing LLC.

James, a Missouri native, is the only professional angler in the world who can claim to be both a former drill sergeant in the U.S. Army and a Bass Pro Shops Open winner. 

As a young boy, James remembers fishing with his father and being surrounded by trophies as tall as him. This early introduction to the industry left him wanting more for his future. Throughout his fishing career, the chase of competition continues to lure Watson, a US Army Veteran. He won the Bass Pro Shops Central Open in 2015, and also claimed the 2016 FLW Invitational on Lake Norris, Tennessee. James is a member of the USA Bass Fishing Team.
