A former motocross racer from Ohio, Fletcher Shryock completed his best year as a pro in 2020, finishing 10th in Angler of the Year stands on the Bass Pro Tour and earning a sixth-place finish at Lake Okeechobee. Shryock won the second major event he ever entered: the 2011 Bass Pro Shops Southern Open on Lake Norman, North Carolina. Shortly after, he collected another Top 10, qualified to fish the Bassmaster Classic, and became a full-time touring pro just over a year later.
