We Inspire Young Bass Fishermen To Develop Their Love Of The Sport

The Wheeler Fishing Foundation was founded by Jacob Wheeler, a renowned bass fishing champion, to advocate for the sport of fishing and to share his love of the outdoors.

Our goal by 2024 is to offer several college scholarships to young people interested in pursuing a career in the outdoor industry.

By hosting a variety of tournaments and events, we hope to inspire young people everywhere to pursue what they love with a passion and have fun doing it while learning from someone who has done exactly that in their career!

In 2012, his rookie year on tour, he dominated the competition with a wire-to-wire win at the FLW Outdoors Forest Wood Cup and entered the record books again as the youngest angler to win. Currently he is a 5x Major League Fishing Champion, 2x Bassmaster Elite Series Champion, and FLW Super Champion.

Wheeler's winning ways have continued through the 2020 season where he has surpassed $2,000,000.00 in tournament winnings.Jacob Wheeler is a fishing phenom and continues to prove that he will be a fierce competitor in years to come in the sport of bass fishing.

He and his wife Alicia are so excited to have been able to start the Wheeler Fishing Foundation in 2021 to share their love of the outdoors and fishing with others.
