Hank Parker and Abu Garcia® have teamed up with the BerkleyBigFish crew to recognize the truly "Elite Anglers" on BerkleyBigFish.com. This group of dedicated “hook-setting specialists” has taken the sport to a new level. We're talking about fishermen who hit the water daily in search of the most awe-inspiring angling experiences and the biggest BigFish! Master casters, whose trophies are not the result of lucky tosses of the bait, but rather the pay-off for their addiction to tight-lines. This special gang of “tug-of-war artists” have fine-tuned their equipment, chosen the right baits, analyzed the conditions and instinctively known where to find those monsters of the deep. 

Hank and his BerkleyBigFish crew hand out the Elite Angler Award purely based on your photos and stories, so you don't need to worry about collecting votes. Heck, it's easy for our crew of highly trained, fish-crazed judges to recognize one of their own. Rest assured that we know an “Elite Angler” when we see one.

If you’ve had nightmares about the one that got away, the BerkleyBigFish "Elite Angler Award" is for you!

Fish on angler, fish on…
