THEIR STORY: Kathy Fennel’s inspiring journey from humble start in 1982 to Bass Fishing Hall of Fame

Everybody’s fishing story has a beginning. For Bass Fishing Hall of Famer, Freshwater Fishing Hall of Famer and Sports Business Journal “Game Changer” Kathy Fennel, that beginning was in 1982 at a small table in the office of Operation Bass in Gilbertsville, Kentucky.
Fennel’s story is one of opportunity and of following a desire to be a leader and difference maker. Those qualities have led to her position now as one of the most respected and beloved members of the worldwide bass fishing community.
“I count my blessings every day,” Fennel says. “I would never have imagined that I’d have the opportunities that I’ve had growing up in small-town Kentucky. Never, ever.” #fishing #bassfishing #womeninfishing
