T
he name Mark Davis is synonymous with fishing.
Yes, there is the Mark Davis that won the 1995
Bassmaster Angler of the Year (AOY) and 1995 Bassmaster Classic as well as two other Bassmaster AOY
titles; however, we are not discussing him in this piece.
The Mark Davis we are referring to, is the one who
served as the marketing director for Shakespeare and
Pflueger for many years, and who is the host of Big Water
Adventures, one of the highest rated fishing shows on The Outdoor Channel.
Big Water Adventures debuted in 2008 and is one of the most highly decorated shows in the business. Davis, who has worked in many facets of the fishing industry throughout his career, is one of the most skilled anglers in the world. Growing up in South Carolina, Davis found himself fishing for both freshwater and saltwater species as a kid, then entering bass tournaments as a teenager.
He said his life has revolved around the sport.
