How Brandon Palaniuk Overcame Life-Changing Events to Claim 2022 Angler of the Year Title
After one of the most memorable seasons in his career, Humminbird and Minn Kota Pro Brandon Palaniuk earned his second career Bassmaster Elite Series Angler of the Year title after wrapping up a dominant season that included him and his wife, Tiffany Palaniuk, becoming parents amidst the hectic tournament schedule.
“This season has been a whirlwind but a fun one at that. It’s an amazing feeling to be on the short list of incredible anglers to have won this achievement twice in their career,” said Palaniuk.
“Winning this title for the second time does a couple of things for me. I am not the type of person to ever be satisfied with an achievement because there are always more to be won. Whether it’s an Elite series trophy, a Bassmaster Classic or an AOY title – there is always more,” said Palaniuk.
Palaniuk finished the 2022 season with three top-five finishes, eight out of nine cuts made, and a runner-up finish at Lake Fork. This major accomplishment adds to an already impressive career resume of six Bassmaster wins, the 2017 Angler of the Year title, and the 2010 B.A.S.S. Nation Championship.
In this short article, we dig deeper into Brandon’s dominant Bassmaster Elite Series season.
