NASHVILLE, Tenn. (October 20, 2022) — Clayton Andersonwas a special guest at the Bass Fishing industry’s most prestigious event, the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame (BFHOF) 2022 Induction Banquet held in Springfield, MO, last week. The ballroom was filled with a who’s-who of celebrity anglers, sponsors, retailers and living legends in the industry including Bill Dance, Kevin VanDam and Gary Klein.

“I had so much fun visiting with these legends. I grew up with them. I watched Bill Dance on TV with my grandpa every chance I got. Bill, Jimmy Houston and Roland Martin are the icons who helped raise me as a fishing and outdoors enthusiast and I admire everything this community does for wildlife conservation across the board. I’m grateful for the invitation from Bass Pro and Johnny Morris, the Hall of Fame board of directors and my friends Joe Carter and Bobby Dennis who made so many incredible introductions,” says Anderson.

Steve Bowman, a 2020 BFHOF inductee, says, “Clayton is an absolute star. We first heard of him through his ‘fishing song of the year’ ‘Show Me Your Fish’ and he’s become a welcome part of our community. We look forward to growing with him in years to come.”

Bill Dance, who celebrated his 82nd birthday on Oct. 7, said, “Clayton is a great guy with fantastic music. It’s so good to see him representing country music in the fishing world. This kid is a star. Now, let’s go fishin.”

“What an outstanding opportunity to raise the excitement of our induction dinner and activities,” said BFHOF Board President John Mazurkiewicz. “Clayton treated us to a special performance of ‘Show Me Your Fish’ during our Board dinner, and it was our pleasure that we could then treat him at our dinner where you could see what a great time he had mingling with the legends in the bass fishing world.”
