Who is YOUR fishing role model? #GoBoldly #MercuryMarine

Who inspired you to pursue your love of fishing? A family member? Another angler?

Mercury wanted to learn more about how role models can shape a passion for the outdoors, so we asked Major League Fishing Bass Pro Tour anglers James Watson, Mike McClelland, Keith Poche, Fred Roumbanis, Stephen Browning, Jared Lintner and Brent Chapman to reflect on the role models who influenced their lives and careers.

From Jimmy Houston to Aaron Martens, parents to friends, their answers shed light on where inspiration comes from in this Mercury Ask the Anglers video.
