Scott Martin Scott R. Martin from Clewiston Florida is one of the hottest and brightest stars in professional fishing today. Coming from a long family heritage of fishing and being the son of Roland Martin, the holder of many records in professional fishing and star of “Fishing with Roland Martin” that has been running for over 25 years, it was no surprise that Scott would follow the family legacy. When Scott first started fishing the National Bass fishing trail, he was on a hot streak from the word go. His first year of fishing in 1999, he was awarded the FLW Tour Co-Angler of the Year title. He won his first national FLW Tour event with a purse of $100,000.00 in only his second event as a Pro in 2000. Since then he has amassed four more FLW wins including claiming the 2011 FLW Championship the "Forrest Wood Cup". Scott has amassed an amazing 24 top ten finishes on the FLW Tour. With 5 tour wins and 1.9 million in winnings Scott is ranked second in all-time money winnings and tour wins. With 11 FLW Championship qualifications under his belt, he has proven himself as one of the sports most decorated and consistent anglers. |

Freddie McKnight Freddie McKnight practically grew up in the outdoors. Hunting and fishing were more than his family’s pastime, it was their life. Traveling along with his parents, relatives, and friends in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, McKnight quickly became acquainted with the ways of hunting and fishing. An avid reader of outdoor magazines, McKnight always had a desire to put his adventures into writing. His dream came to fruition in 1993 when he started writing a column titled “Fishing and Hunting in the Appalachians” for a small Huntingdon County weekly newspaper. He continues to write that column to this day and has penned articles for more than 60 other outdoor publications. In 2000, McKnight started a trek into the world of outdoor videography, filming hunts and creating videos for his company, Working Man Outdoors. He has traveled to more than 20 states and Canada in search of hunting and fishing adventures. |
