Bryan Thrift
Shelby, NC
The newly crowned REDCREST 2023 champion after his March victory on Lake Norman, Thrift’s career resume includes the 2019 FLW Cup and two FLW Tour Angler of the Year titles (2010, 2017). Thrift has posted over 70 Top 10s and more than $3.6 million in winnings in his career, highlighted by a 2019 campaign where he racked up eight Top 10s, won two events and pocketed over $520,000 in tournament winnings (one of the Top 10 seasons of all time across all leagues). Thrift scored $113,500 during Heavy Hitters 2023 thanks to reeling in the biggest bass of the Championship Round, a 9-6 that was worth $100,000.
