MLF Justin Cooper Profile Before making the Bass Pro Tour in 2023, Cooper placed second in the 2021 Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit Rookie of the Year race. He finished in the Top 20 for Angler of the Year all three years he fished the Pro Circuit/Invitationals, including three Tops 10s in 2021. In 2025, the Bass Pro Tour limited forward-facing sonar use to one period per day and Cooper made his first Bass Pro Tour win at Stage 1 on Lake Conroe with 78 pounds, 5 ounces on 34 scorable bass.
