BIO

The winner of the 2014 Bassmaster Classic and a 28-year veteran of tour-level competition, Howell has accumulated more than 50 Top 10 finishes and nearly $2.2 million in winnings in his career. Even more impressive: he’s helped raise over $2.3 million for Kings Home charity through an annual giveaway of his Triton/Mercury tournament boat. Howell broke the Bass Pro Tour record twice two days in a row during Stage One of the 2022 Bass Pro Tour. During the Knockout Round, he caught one weighing 10 pounds, 11 ounces. The next day, Howell broke that record with a bug-eyed largemouth weighing 12 pounds, 14 ounces, which was 3 ounces more than Bussey Brake’s previous record.
