Whitewater Fishing Catches Two Rising Stars

Whitewater Fishing Catches Two Rising Stars

Bassmaster Elite anglers, Wesley Gore and Alex Redwine, come aboard to represent best-in-class fishing apparel brand

MUSKEGON, Mich. (May 13, 2025) – Whitewater Fishing is proud to add two new ambassadors to a growing list of bass fishing pros, anchored by Bassmaster Elite tournament ace, Jay Przekurat.

“We’ve been looking for the right level of attitude, aspiration, performance, and social engagement to expand the Whitewater Fishing pro bass fishing team,” said Steve Allie, Director of Marketing at Whitewater Fishing.

“And what we’ve found in both Wesley and Alex is exactly that mixture – with a whole lot of passion for the sport and our brand. They are both up-and-comers everyone has their eye on, and we expect them to keep climbing leaderboards in the coming years.”

24-year-old, Alabama-based Wesley Gore is currently fishing the Bassmaster Elite Series and has competed in nearly 50 events with a 2025 Bassmaster Classic appearance, eight top 10 finishes, and been in the money 23 times. Whitewater now joins Gore’s other premium sponsors: DAIWA, Sunline, Mt. Dew, Xcite Baits, and others.

“Jay Przekurat and I are best buddies, so it’s an honor to share a sponsor like Whitewater,” said Gore. “I’ve been alternating between the Whitewater Great Lakes Pro Insulated and regular uninsulated Great Lakes Pro suits for a lot of the early season. Both keep you dry – and the insulated is the absolute best extreme weather outerwear I’ve ever worn.”

Gore continued: “For all seasons, I’m a huge fan of the new Luswea joggers. They’re the best pair of pants I’ve ever put on for all-around use. And I really like how super stretchy the Lightweight Tech Hoodie and Prevail Pants are for on the water – they have a huge range of movement for how actively I fish.”

Likewise, 25-year-old Ohio-based Alex Redwine is fishing the Bassmaster Elite Series and has finished in the money 26 times. Redwine joined the Elite Series after finishing third in the 2021 Bassmaster Northern Open Standings. He also competed in the 2025 Bassmaster Classic and is currently on his 4th season on the Bassmaster Elite Series, racking up 7 top 20 finishes.

From the banks of the Ohio River region, Redwine grew up fishing bass in the Ohio River and nearby Brookville Lake, but really loves brown bass factories, Lake St. Clair and Erie. Whitewater Fishing joins an impressive roster of Redwine sponsors including Humminbird, Minn Kota, Yamaha, Phoenix Boats, and others.

“So far this year, Whitewater gear has given me the ability to fish comfortably no matter the conditions,” said Redwine.

“Whitewater’s lineup has the best of both worlds – everything from the Great Lakes Pro Insulated suit for really cold days early in the season to the Lightweight Tech Hoodie and Rays Performance Hoodie to keep my skin protected when the sun’s out. And the Prevail Pants are the most comfortable I’ve ever worn. The pants are my favorite for both on- and off-the-water.”

“It’s a huge honor to be on the same team as Jay Przekurat and Wesley Gore – plus, the company is laid-back and easy to work with. They really listen to our feedback and what we’re looking for in premium fishing apparel,” concluded Redwine.
