Arizona is known for beautiful desert vistas, the Grand Canyon and four of the top sticks in pro bass fishing. All four of these anglers fish the Bassmaster Elite Series. All four have either won Elite Series events, qualified for the Bassmaster Classic or both. Not bad for sand dwellers.

Cliff Pirch has qualified for the Bassmaster Classic and finished second in B.A.S.S. events three times. Pirch will be fishing the Classic in 2017.

Josh Bertrand qualified for the Bassmaster Classic twice and finished in the Top 10 four times at B.A.S.S. events.

Dean Rojas has four B.A.S.S. wins along with 14 trips to the Bassmaster Classic. Look for Rojas at the Classic in 2017.

Brett Hite owns one B.A.S.S. win and four Bassmaster Classic appearances. Oh yeah, four FLW wins as well. Hite will be fishing the 2017 Classic.
