Chet Douthit, Bassmaster Professional

Professional Objectives And Goals

Being an avid outdoorsman offers me the unique opportunity to share my experience with others. I hope to continue using my knowledge of fishing and the outdoor market while also remaining a consistent competitor on fishing tournaments. I will continue to educate and inform others as to the wonders of nature and the environment. I also work closely with the leaders in the fishing industry to develop and refine products for the fishermen everywhere. Guiding on Lake Okeechobee gives me insight as to what anglers from around the world prefer in equipment and tackle.
