NAME: Kevin Martin

SOMETHING FANS MAY NOT KNOW: When I am not on the water or in a tree stand I am coon hunting! I have enjoyed coon hunting for years. Its just as competitive as fishing professionally. We currently have a female named Fire, and a male named Shot, they are the true “A” team. We travel and hunt with them whenever we get the chance!

TOURNAMENT EXPERIENCE: 15 yrs.
YEARS WITH THE NPFL: 3rd
TOTAL NPFL WINNINGS: $35,000
CAREER HIGHLIGHTS: 2022 was my first year fishing with the NPFL. My best finish that year was 3rd place at Saginaw Bay, MI.
_ In 2023 my best finish was 5th place at Santee Cooper Lake, SC. Both of these top 5 finished while at completely different bodies of water were grass fishing using a buzz bait & swim jigs.
_ This year, 2023, at the Saginaw Bay tournament I finished 13th. On day 2 I was in 53rd place. Then on day 3 I caught 22 lbs of small mouth and moved up 40 places to finish 13th.
_ Ending 2023, I finished 21st overall qualifying to fish in the Championship event that will be held in 2024 at Lake Amistad, TX.
