Adam Baggs
The 2024 Angler of the Year on the Algoma & Northshore Bass Series, who brings tactics from trout, walleye and salmon fishing to bass.
Trout, walleye and salmon tactics, put to work on bass
Adam Baggs is a tournament angler who thrives on learning and adapting with every outing. With a background in trout, walleye, and salmon, he brings a creative, unconventional approach to bass, applying tactics from other species to stay ahead on the water. Over the past five years, Adam has proven his consistency and skill, earning 2024 Algoma Northshore Bass Series Angler of the Year and a 4th place finish at the 2025 Huron Bass Tour SCB Haweater Open. Primarily fishing Lake Superior and Lake Huron, he has recently expanded into the southern Great Lakes, tackling more pressured waters while covering water efficiently, breaking down patterns quickly, and experimenting with out-of-the-box techniques to make the most of every outing.
