Brad Whatley

Brad Whatley grew up fishing with his Dad for crappie and catfish on Caddo Lake. After he got out of college, he bought his first boat, and you could say the rest is history. He worked his way up through local bass club tournaments, and always dreamed of participating in the Bassmaster Classic. In 2015, blessed with an opportunity, he started fishing the Bassmaster Central Opens. In 2018, he finished second in points in the Central Opens and earned his spot in the 2019 Classic along with an invite to the Elites.

Brad recently started a business to help with his Bassmaster entry fees teaching high school and college kids how to practice on a lake for a tournament. That includes everything from map study to seasonal patterns. When Brad’s not fishing you can find him spending time at home with his wife Jennifer their three daughters. He also enjoys quail hunting and bow hunting.
