Farmington, IL (Jan. 24, 2019) – Gator Guards, the leading global innovator of boat protection products, and former Classic Champion Randy Howell, are teaming up to tackle the new Major League Fishing (MLF) Bass Pro Tour.

Randy Howell, the established Guntersville, AL angler, is best known as a Classic Champion and MLF Competitor, but what sets him apart is his genuine persona, and the strong commitment to his faith and family. The Howell family travels together across the country fishing and sharing their lives – making a positive impact in all the communities they visit and becoming a fan favorite on tour.

“We’re grateful to team up with Randy Howell and his family. We’ve supported Randy and been guarding his rigs for over 20 years since Triton Boats trusted us as their only keel protector.  It is exciting to partner on a national scale as he puts his equipment to the test and tackles the new MLF Bass Pro Tour.” said Gator Guards’ Scott Smith.

“I’m excited to officially partner with Gator Guards, the makers of KeelShield. These guys are the leaders in hull protection, and I’ve trusted the KeelShield to protect my Triton Boats for the past 20 years. The entire lineup of products are innovative and necessary to protect your investment, especially with how we as pros put our boats through the toughest of circumstances, and expect them to be in great shape as we pass them on to the next owner. In my case, the winner of our annual King’s Home boat giveaway.”

Randy looks forward to the new season and redefined fishing landscape. “I’m proud to be representing an American made family company to protect my Triton on the exciting new Bass Pro Tour and Major League Fishing circuit.” Which starts soon in Kissimmee, Fla., to kick off the inaugural season Jan 29-Feb 3.
