About Us

Side Pot Fishing LLC was founded by Luke Shrader in February of 2022. The primary objective was to provide tournament bass anglers with increased payout opportunities. Since 2022, we have awarded over $120,000 in Side Pot prize money.

Luke is an avid tournament angler who has competed in over 500 total tournaments since 2006. As a New Jersey native, Luke grew up fishing mostly grassroots-level tournaments on the small shallow lakes and tidal rivers of the East coast. His love of the sport has led him across the country and allowed him to compete in places like Maine, Florida and Texas. Luke now spends most of his time in Kentucky and Wisconsin and remains very active in the bass fishing community.

We pride ourselves on transparency, integrity, and fairness. We are not affiliated with Bassmaster, Major League Fishing, The National Professional Fishing League, or any other tournament organization.
