Lake Okeechobee, historically one of the best bass fishing lakes in the country. I've struggled on this fishery before, nearly coming in last place years ago. This year it's fishing tough but I have one of those special days on the water.
— Brandon Palaniuk is all in on the professional bass fishing tournament trail. At the age of 36, he has done more than most fishermen have done in a lifetime. After winning the BASS Nation National Championship, which gave him a berth into both the Elite Series and the 2011 Bassmaster Classic, there was no looking back. Now a 5x Bassmaster Elite Series Champion, 12x Bassmaster Classic Qualifier, and a 2x Bassmaster Angler of the Year, the dream lives on!
