Breaking New Ground in Professional Angling

In an exhilarating development in the world of professional angling, Jim Vretzos, known as “The Professional,” has officially qualified for the 2024 BAM Pro Tour. This achievement comes after a remarkable performance in the 2023 WON BASS Pro Ams, where he consistently showcased his exceptional skills, securing his place among the top anglers.

Journey to Success

Jim Vretzos began his illustrious career as a Strike King Co-angler and quickly made a name for himself in the competitive angling scene. Transitioning to the Pro Ranks just five years ago, Jim has shown a relentless pursuit of excellence. His dedication bore fruit in 2023 when he finished in the top 12 in the Angler of the Year (AOY) points race, a pivotal moment leading to his qualification for the upcoming BAM Pro Tour.

Impressive Partnerships and Sponsorships

Jim’s journey is supported by an array of prestigious partnerships and sponsorships, reflecting his esteemed status in the angling community. His boat, equipped with top-of-the-line Phoenix/Mercury/Humminbird gear, is a testament to his commitment to quality and performance. His sponsorships include reputable brands like: Greater Bay Protective Services, Phoenix Boats, Mercury Marine, Last Chance Performance Marine, Lews, Phenix Rods, Bioenno Lithium, Spearpoint Performance Hooks, and Tug Life.

A Road Warrior’s Triumph

2023 saw Jim traverse from Northern California to compete in the challenging WON BASS Open trail. His resilience and skill were on full display during the 2023 US Open, where he remained in the top 10 throughout all three days of the competition. Jim’s ability to thrive under the BAM Pro Tour’s unique format — which includes a no practice rule, 31 days off limits, and a no information policy — is indicative of his adaptability and strategic acumen.
