Was very honored to have MN/WI own Bob Downey over to the Bass Galaxy HQ. His story is truly something special, and he is one of the most relatable anglers I've ever talked to. This past season, Bob Downey punched yet another Bassmaster Classic qualification, and he's proven he belongs, and is here to stay on the Elite Series. When Bob Downey of Hudson, WI signed on to fish the 2019 Bassmaster Central Opens, he knew it would be a tall step up in competition. Downey claimed a check in all four Central Opens, and qualified for the 2020 Bassmaster Classic by winning the final event of the season at Grand Lake, OK. He also qualified for the Elite Series by finishing 5th in the 2019 AOY standings. This is his story.
