Alton Jones
Texas native Alton Jones is one of the few to have entered the rarified air of the $3 million club for career winnings. The winner of the 2008 Bassmaster Classic on Lake Hartwell, Jones has accumulated more than 60 career Top 10s since his first professional competition in 1990. Jones won the 2021 General Tire Heavy Hitters on Shearon Harris Reservoir.
