![Elite rookie Matt Lee tallied up tons of tournament hours in his Carhartt-wrapped Legend boat during the 2015 season. Lee fished a full schedule in the Bassmaster Elite Series, and he took part in the Central and Southern Opens tournaments as well.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ej5c0191_crop.jpg)
![The highlights of Lee's first season fishing the Bassmaster Elite Series included a Top 20 finish on Lake Guntersville and a Top 25 finish in BASSfest on Kentucky Lake. All told, Lee earned a check in four 2015 Elite events.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ej5c0202.jpg)
![During the 2015 season, Lee fished in a 2015 Legend V20 boat equipped with a high performance 250 Mercury Pro XS motor.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ej5c0203.jpg)

![The rod locker is on the left side of Lee's boat, and it regularly holds dozens of rods for a tournament.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ej5c0313.jpg)
![Lee keeps plenty of rods on hand so he is prepared to fish multiple techniques, including frog flippin'.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ej5c0316.jpg)
![Lee recalled examples in the past where he didn't have enough rods to fish effectively. Because of this, there can be 30 to 40 rods in the locker at any given time.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ej5c0319.jpg)
![Up front there is a huge middle compartment in the boat. Lee stores hard baits in this space and occasionally some swimbaits. The large compartment can hold 20 or 25 Plano boxes as well as the three or four rods Lee will use to start a day fishing.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ej5c0326.jpg)
![Extra baits that Lee takes off while fishing also make their way into the front compartment. This helps keep his boat's floor clean.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ej5c0321.jpg)

![A lot of the rods Lee stores in his rod locker don't have reels on them, so he keeps these reels in a separate compartment.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ej5c0349.jpg)

![For the smaller box in front of the driver's seat, the contents depend on where Lee is fishing. He'll store bulk plastics, zipper bags of Dream Shots or swimbait heads in this space.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ej5c0356.jpg)

![Lee navigated his boat all across the U.S. in 2015. In one year, he drove it on the coast of California, on the Canadian border and down in Florida.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ej5c0371.jpg)
![The panel includes the Mercury SmartCraft gauge. It reads how much fuel is used up to 1/10th of a gallon. It's helpful for long runs, and it tells Lee how exactly much gas he has left.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ej5c0372.jpg)
![On the console, there's a keypad that controls all of the livewells, interior lights, Oxygenator, etc. The driver can set recirculation or auto with just the touch of a finger.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ej5c0375.jpg)
![For onboard power, there is a lighter-style power outlet and two USB ports. For phones or other items that need charging, all that is needed is a USB cord.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ej5c0376.jpg)
![One rear box holds two Plano boxes, a first-aid kit, a life jacket, an extra trolling motor prop, clothes, a fire extinguisher and an extra hub assembly kit.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ej5c0380.jpg)
