Tackle pioneers, legendary boat builders, record-setting competitors and all-around trailblazers is just one way to describe the diverse group of individuals that comprise the 2025 Bass Fishing Hall of Fame ballot.
There will be 20 names on the ballot this year as the Hall of Fame prepares to celebrate its 25th anniversary by honoring another distinguished class of legends that has made a lasting and meaningful impact on the sport of bass fishing.
"It's a special honor in itself to even be considered for induction into the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame, and for Hall's Board of Directors, it is one of the most important decisions every year in presenting the ballot to our selection panel and current Hall of Fame inductees for them to choose the next class," said John Mazurkiewicz, president of the Hall's Board. "Along with the new 2025 inductees, we look forward to also giving special recognition to the first Hall's induction class as part of the 25th anniversary of the Hall's inception at this year's induction dinner in September.”
