Grae Buck is a smallmouth-fishing savant who initially struggled on southern fisheries early in his Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit career. But in 2020, his fourth year on the Pro Circuit, the Pennsylvania pro proved himself as a well-rounded angler when he finished third in the standings and qualified for his first TITLE championship. That year, he also made the Bassmaster Classic top 20. Buck has earned four wins on the Phoenix Bass Fishing League level, including a BFL Regional on the Potomac River in 2015. He went on to compete at the 2016 BFL All-American. Buck later won a BASS Open at Oneida in 2019. He’s a two-time MLF TITLE Championship qualifier, finishing as high as seventh in 2020. In 2023, he finished sixth in the MLF Invitationals AOY race.
