5. Winner will be selected at random using the Tackle Snob Wheel.

Please Read:

If you’re not a dad, sit this one out and let the fathers have this one. There will be plenty of other giveaways throughout the year.

We’re running this on the honor system. If someone wins and we find out they entered under false pretenses, they’ll be removed from future giveaways, Free Product Fridays, and future CHOMP ON TOUR events. One person / one account. Not same person with multiple accounts.

The winner receives everything shown in the photo.

And yes, the prize package includes a paid CHOMP ON RATS Angler Card registration and this prize will also qualify as a rat for Chomp on Tour.

Entry Window:

Comments are open now through Sunday at 11:59 PM.

The winner will be announced sometime next week.

It’s back. Shipping is free too.

THAT’S A AWFUL LOT OF BASS FISHING

First off, respect to . What you’ve built is proof that Los Angeles streetwear isn’t just local anymore—it’s influenced fashion across the country and around the world. The culture, the storytelling, the hustle, and the branding have reached people far beyond LA.

Bass fishing has a similar reach.

While LA helped shape streetwear culture, the United States helped shape modern bass fishing culture. From local ponds and reservoirs to major tournament trails, bass fishing has become a lifestyle that connects millions of people across the country and around the world.

That’s why I believe this collaboration makes sense.

Fishing is everywhere. Every state has anglers. Every town has people waking up before sunrise, chasing the next bite, collecting gear, traveling, and building community around something they love. The same way people rally around streetwear, people rally around fishing.

Bad News Bass was built independently with that same mentality. We’re hungry. We’re building. We’re creating culture within our own lane. What started in California now reaches anglers across the United States and around the world, from California to Tokyo.

“That’s A Awful Lot Of Bass Fishing” isn’t just a slogan. It’s a statement about passion, obsession, and lifestyle.

Different worlds. Same dedication.

To the Bad News Bass community—thank you for helping build something bigger than apparel. This brand represents the anglers, the early risers, the weekend warriors, the tournament fishermen, the dream chasers, and everyone who finds peace on the water. We come from an industry we’re all of people are influenced off one another and some straight bootleg others. I can see how Desto Dubb feels. That’s why I entered this.

Desto. If we don’t move into the finals, please take a business meeting with me. And give me a chance to have dinner with you and do a collab. I’m an hour from LA on SWA. ✈️
