Meet the Anglers: Jacob Walker

Major League Fishing

Jacob Walker

Springville, Alabama

Jacob Walker quickly made a name for himself and it wasn’t long before he scored his first major win with the 2024 Tackle Warehouse Invitationals event on Lake Champlain. 2025 was a big year for Walker as he made his REDCREST debut with a 17th-place finish on Lake Guntersville. He went on to finish third in the standings for the 2025 Tackle Warehouse Invitationals and made the Top 10 at the Invitationals Championship en route to his 2026 Bass Pro Tour rookie season, where he placed second at his first Bass Pro Tour event, Stage 1 on Lake Guntersville.

FUN FACT

Walker says he would rather fish at night than during the day. When not competing, he enjoys spending time outdoors with his wife and kids and teaching young anglers about fishing and the fishing industry. He considers Steve Kennedy and Aaron Martens his angling heroes.
