Bama Wall Hangers - Fishing Talk with Jesse Wiggins

Jesse Wiggins, a professional bass angler from Addison, Alabama, joins Brad Bowen to talk about turning a love of fishing into a career. He shares how he worked his way up to the highest levels of tournament fishing, and how winning an early tournament gave him the confidence to believe he belonged.

Jesse explains why the shaky head helped launch his fishing career and why the chatterbait remains one of his favorite all-around baits. He recounts catching a 10-pound, 1-ounce bass at Lake Guntersville and offers practical advice on keeping fish hooked, choosing line, and knowing when to move on from a fish you see on sonar. 

The conversation also explores how Jesse balances professional fishing with hunting and family life. He describes taking his young son fishing, talks about turkey and deer hunting, and shares stories of frog gigging, bow fishing, and growing up in North Alabama’s outdoor culture.

From childhood memories of dog hunting to the early tournaments that opened the door to a pro career, Jesse reflects on the experiences that shaped him. His story offers encouragement to young anglers: build experience step by step, make the most of opportunities, and keep pursuing what you love.
