Harvey Horne has been chasing after his dream of becoming a professional bass fisherman his entire life. His win at the Central Open on the Arkansas River in 2018 opened up the door to fishing the Bassmaster Elites. Harvey was given the chance to turn his dream into reality. Running an Xpress Boats X21 Pro has allowed him the confidence to go shallower where other boats cannot go and opens up more water for me to explore, plus he has the confidence of being able to handle rough water too.

It’s actually intriguing to step outside your comfort zone because you can’t improve as an angler unless you are put in challenging situations.

Hobbies:
Spending time with family & bowhunting

Caleb Sumrall grew up fishing in southern Louisiana with his dad and grandfather. His interest was diverted to golf during high school, working a job and eventually starting a family with his wife, Jaci. At 25, he started fishing local tournaments and then B.A.S.S. Nation events. That decision put him on a path of opportunity that many can only dream of. Caleb qualified for the 2017 B.A.S.S. Nation Championship on South Carolina’s Lake Hartwell and won the event, which was a life-changing moment in his career, as it qualified him to fish the Elite Series the next season. In 2018, Sumrall finished in the money nine times — four times on the Elite Series (including a 13th place at Lake Oahe), four in the Bassmaster Opens (including ninth at the Championship on Table Rock) and his Classic debut. Caleb excels in shallow water bass fishing, but understands that that technique won’t sustain him throughout an entire Elite season. Caleb joined the Xpress Boats Elite team in the fall fo 2019 and is excited for the new opportunities running the “Original” all-welded aluminum will offer him.

In 1997, my parents moved me to a neighborhood in the suburbs of Oklahoma City, which changed my life. I grew up next to two ponds where I spent most of my time. It was early spring when we first moved there, and I’ll never forget seeing my first largemouth siting on a bed. The determination to catch that fish as an eleven-year-old boy is something that I still carry today. I spent most of my childhood studying and fishing every single waking moment I had. The passion that was in me was something I couldn’t explain. That passion is how fishing became my life. From placing in the top 20 in the FLW BFL series on Toledo to the top 20 at an FLW Costa on Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees I know it is my passion that will grow me in the sport.

My mission in the fishing industry is to show the younger generation that dreams are made to pursue. My goal is to take myself to the top of the industry, but most importantly is to be the best role model I can be.
