John Hunter
Shelbyville, KY
From fishing at Georgetown College in his early years to a short stint on the Bassmaster Elite Series, Hunter has really been around the block in bass fishing. The second breakout season of his career, Hunter finished eighth in the points on the Pro Circuit in 2022 to qualify for the Bass Pro Tour. Hailing from the hills and hollers of Kentucky, Hunter has been able to handle everything from Florida grass to northern smallmouth in his career. Hunter made his REDCREST debut in 2024.
