An FLW Tour rookie in 2014, Batts has been fishing in lakes and ponds since he was three years old. He fished in his first bass tournament at age ten with Tom Mann in Eufaula, Alabama. He bought his first bass boat at age fifteen and started fishing local tournaments.
After college, Batts began fishing local BFL Tournaments in the Bulldog Division. He worked his way up from the BFL Tournaments to the Rayovac FLW Series Southeastern division where he has fished as a pro for three years and joining the Walmart FLW Tour as a co-angler for two years. 2014 marks Batts’ debut as a professional competing against the top bass-fisherman in the world.
