Nick Hatfield came up through the ranks with FLW/MLF in the Phoenix Bass Fishing League and Abu Garcia College Fishing (Tusculum University). He earned his first win in 2017 at Lake Guntersville and added his first tour-level win during his sophomore season on the Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit/Invitationals trail, going on to finish seventh in the AOY race that year. Hatfield qualified for the Bass Pro Tour in 2024 and posted a third-place finish at the St. Lawrence River to close out the season. Hatfield placed seventh at the 2022 Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit TITLE and made his REDCREST debut with a ninth-place finish in 2024. Hailing from Greeneville, Tennessee, Hatfield isn’t just a stick in the mid-south – many of his top finishes span the country from the Potomac to the St. Lawrence to Sam Rayburn. Hatfield scored his first big win in 2025 at Heavy Hitters on Virginia’s Smith Mountain Lake, topping the field by more than 12 pounds over second place to take home $110,000.
