Stuttering Your Way To Success Ep. 12 Guest Hank Parker

Meet my friend Hank Parker, one of the most humble and successful sport champions I have known. Hank is known as a man of faith, a man of integrity, a loving father, and a gentlemanly, but fierce, competitor.

Many regard him as one of the greatest professional bass fishermen of all time. He won two Bass Master Classic tournaments, the biggest event in his sport, and is one of only four anglers to win the event more than once. Additionally, he was the first angler to win the Grand Slam of competitive bass fishing which includes the Classic, B.A.S.S. Angler of the Year in 1983, and B.A.S.S. Super Bass Tournament in April 1985.

Hank teamed up with Michael Runnels to create Hank Parker's Outdoor Magazine in 1984, which debuted in 1985 on The Nashville Network cable channel. Notable show guests have included Larry Bird, Bo Jackson, Tony Dungy, numerous members of the U.S. Armed Forces and many more. The program now airs on Outdoor Channel and Pursuit Channel.
