My New Cabela’s Ranger Z520C!

January 21, 2016 by Clark Wendlandt

2016 boatOne of the great things about being a professional bass fisherman is that every year at about this time I get to buy a new boat, and I always know that when it comes, everything will be right on it.

First of all it is a Ranger Z520C. Without a doubt, Ranger has a reputation of building the best bass boat on the market. The thing I love the most about my boat is the attention to detail. Everything is rigged with the fisherman in mind – from the perfect layout to more than enough room for all my gear! As bass fishing has evolved over the years, we have seen an increase in the number of techniques and technique-specific baits, and rods and reels that a fisherman needs to carry in his arsenal. With my Ranger, I can put 20 plus rods in the rod locker (and I do!), and there is more than enough room for all my tackle boxes. In the back where the batteries go, there is also plenty of room for everything needed to run the boat. I am really blown away with how much I can store.

Secondly, my dealer, Cabela’s Ft. Worth rigs the boat out to fit my specific needs. There is no doubt when I pick it up that it’s going to be right, including all of my Garmin units installed exactly where I need them. Again perfect!

My wrap has changed just a bit for this year. It now highlights some of the great products I use from Cabela’s. I think it looks really good. Check it out!

Popular Lure Designer, Accomplished Tournament Angler Phil Marks Passes Away

It was really hard to hear the news of the passing of one of my oldest friends, Phil Marks. When I was at Texas A&M, Phil was my first tournament team partner for local and regional tournaments. Phil was one of the smartest people I’ve ever known. He understood fishing and engineering, which I know paved the way for his success as a bait developer. We basically learned how to fish together, and I have always thought he was one of the greatest I have ever fished with. I believe his legacy will live on for years to come. He will be greatly missed by us all. ... See more

Sad news to report on one of the industry greats.

Still can’t believe it sometimes. 2020 AOY. I want to thank everyone again for the support. I’ve been asked what my go-to baits were this year... and the baits I probably used the most and the ones I feel most confident in when I had to grind it out this year were a Strike King KVD 1.5 or 2.5 square bill Crankbait and the Strike King Rage Bug. Looking forward to carrying this momentum into next year!

Spending a few days up on Ray Roberts. My assessment so far... not catching a whole lot of fish, but when you do catch one it’s almost always a nice one! #teamoutdoors

It was a good year

We all have our goals when the year starts, but one of them is common to all of us. We want to fish the next Classic.

2020 Bassmaster Angler of the Year

2020 Bassmaster Angler of the Year It is hard to put in to words how it feels to have the greatest accomplishment of my career occur in the context of the most chaotic year of my life, and I imagine many of yours too – 2020. But in the midst of all the chaos, my job, while disrupted for a few months, resumed after a few months thanks to the efforts made by B.A.S.S to provide a full season for us. I am so appreciative to them and my fellow anglers for pulling together to make this happen. And … Read More...
