I have fished a few catch, weigh, release tournaments and it brings in a whole different mindset to tournament fishing. I spent many summers at family cabins in northern Minnesota chasing bass, so I’m looking forward to getting back to Minnesota to chase bass again.”

Meet The 2024 Champions Tour Rookies

LaMon Marchbanks City:  Plymouth, MN

Previous Angling Accomplishments:

How did you first get into bass fishing? My dad was a walleye fisherman but I didn’t like it. When we were in Colorado visiting my grandparents we tried trout fishing and at a fly shop I saw a video about flies for pike. I knew MN had lots of pike so we tried that for awhile and that lead into bass fishing

What club or tournament group do you belong to (if any)? West Central Bassmasters and I also fish the MNBN Team Trail and Champions Tour

What are you favorite techniques for catching bass? Whatever they are biting is the cliche but it’s true. But really if I could flip foil I’d be a happy man

What boat (if any) do you currently have? 2023 Skeeter ZXR20

What is your personal best largemouth? 7.94 lbs in MN 13.09 lbs in FL

What is your personal best smallmouth? 6.00 lbs from Mille Lacs

Any big accomplishments as a bass angler? I have a couple big wins in the course of my tournament career as well as many smaller ones. The NABC on Vermilion a few years ago and two years ago on Gull for the Team Trail. I guess I’m kinda know for consistency though. Where ever the circuits take us I feel like I can figure something out so at the end of the year I never miss a championship event

Fishing Guide @ MNproteam guide service/Insulation Contractor MN Insulation Specialists/Snow Plowing/Poker

STC MN born and raised. Within a hour of many great fisheries!

How did you first get into bass fishing? On both sides of my family both my grandfathers and most uncles/cousins and my dad were big in fishing and got me started catching panfish. When I was around 10 my parents bought a cabin up north on a small lake with lots of pads and bass in it. From then on I was hooked on bass. They would have to force me to come in for dinner.

What are you favorite techniques for catching bass? Most know I absolutely Love fishing a Jig! I also love fishing a frog! That being said I really like catching bass so whatever they will bite….I take pride in being versatile and being able to pickup new tactics quickly!

What boat (if any) do you currently have? I currently run a 620 Ranger Fisherman. It’s the perfect guide/tournament boat for me. My first boat was a 12′ Lund and I used to oar across the lake and use a 12v rear mount trolling motor to fish my way back because the battery would die otherwise on my way across the lake.

I caught a MN largemouth about 10 years ago from shore on a jig in November that was pushing 8lbs was a epic and memorable catch.

What is your personal best smallmouth? Caught a 7-15 on drop shot on Lake Erie in practice for a TBF regional event.

All-Terrain, Arsenal, Rapala, Waypoint, Vocelka customs, aqua-vu, Dude Hair, RLVNT, Minnkota/Hummingbird

Winning a Dennys Tonka with my buddy Luke last year was a big one for me. Also winning a NABC with Connor O on Leech. AOY in club, AOY mid-state fishing league and runner up AOY champs tour this year. Also winning my first Big Bass Bonanza with my buddy Greg which was a great competitive circuit years ago. Also cashed in every champs tour event this year probably my best season of tourney fishing to date minus a win….

In 1978, the first Legends of Golf was held at Onion Creek Country Club in Austin, Texas.

Two years later, the Senior PGA Tour had its first two official tournaments. Don January and Arnold Palmer won those first events.

From there, the circuit grew and in 1990, Lee Trevino became the first golfer to win $1 million in a season. In 2002, the tour was rebranded as the Champions Tour. In 2015, it took on its current name, the PGA Tour Champions.

Bernhard Langer became the winningest golfer in Champions history in 2023 when he got to No. 46, breaking a mark long held by Hale Irwin. Langer is also the top money-winner all-time on the tour.

He’s one of three players to reach the $20 million mark. Six players on this list have surpassed the $15 million mark. There are 31 at $10 million.

As you make your way through this list, keep in mind:

  • Gary Player is 90th all-time with $6,049,029
  • Jack Nicklaus ranks 147th with $3,372,207
  • Arnold Palmer is 211th with $1,765,795

There are 649 names listed in all, with Mike Balliet bringing up the rear with $736 in career tour earnings.
