Texas bass pro and certified Lake Fork one man wrecking crew Lee Livesay quickly went from unknown to angling phenomenon. He’s one of our sport’s greatest closers, and a threat to win just about anywhere, but at the 2025 Classic I tried to get some more info out of him.

Pete initially wanted to work with Lee Livesay because of Lee’s incredible skill catching huge fish. I immediately liked his wife Taren because we both have red hair – but I knew there was more of a story than that, and I wanted to figure it out. Fortunately, Taren was ready to spill the beans about how they met and the details of their life together.
