Against the Grain – Palaniuk’s Big Bait Theory
The hallmarks of Brandon Palaniuk’s tournament fishing career have been an ability to out fish others in difficult conditions and a willingness to consider presentations
Alec Morrison is the next generation of competitive anglers, blending instinct, innovation, and relentless drive. A New York native, he mastered the nation’s toughest waters, refining the tactics that define champions.
His precision and adaptability reflect the Megabass philosophy—where every cast is calculated, and performance is an obsession. Fearless and driven, Morrison is a rising force, proving that pushing limits separates the good from the great.
Brandon Palaniuk earned the nickname “The Prodigy” for his youth and meteoric rise from Idaho’s bass fishing backwaters. But talent alone doesn’t define him.
His relentless work ethic has driven him to two Angler of the Year titles and victories across diverse fisheries, proving that success is built on more than just raw skill.
Kenta Kimura fuses traditional Japanese angling artistry with modern competitive fire. A master of lure design and instinctive fishing, he’s won a Bassmaster Open and competes in the Elite Series.
Logging over 250 nights a year in his camper, he immerses himself in the waters he seeks to master. His relentless pursuit of precision and performance defines every cast and creation.
Matty Wong embodies passion, perseverance, and the pursuit of excellence. Raised in Hawaii and later working in Hollywood, his journey to bass fishing’s biggest stages is one of grit and determination.
His 2021 BASS Nation Championship win made history, securing him as the first Hawaiian angler in the Bassmaster Elite Series. Blending West Coast finesse with island-born intuition, Matty approaches every cast with precision and purpose—perfectly reflecting Megabass’s commitment to innovation and mastery.
A true legend and strategic thinker, Randy Blaukat blends decades of experience with deep tactical insight and respect for bass fishing and its environment.
A key figure in the development of the VISION ONETEN, he made his mark on the competitive circuits of the ‘80s and ‘90s, earning a reputation as an innovator who transcends trends. Blaukat studies the nuances of bass behavior and the shifting dynamics of the water, always staying ahead of the game.
