Big Daddy Russ Lane fully grows into his nickname
Scottsboro, Ala. – Through the course of the 2025 Bassmaster Opens and Elite Qualifiers, Alabama pro Russ Lane looked like an adult chaperone leading a school field trip. On Nov. 15, when the three-EQ campaign concluded at Lake Okeechobee, Lane offered up the nine others who’d survived the gauntlet to graduate to the Elite Series a chance to toast their success. He motioned to the lakeside tiki bar and asked his fellow qualifiers to join him in a celebratory cocktail.
