![Virginia angler John Crews has fished 160 tournaments with B.A.S.S., recording 21 Top 10 finishes and a Bassmaster Elite Series victory on the California Delta in 2010.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/01_6.jpg)
![Crews has earned $1,121,077.31 during his time with B.A.S.S., and much of that damage was done in a Bass Cat Eyra, powered by a Mercury 250 Pro XS.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/02_6.jpg)
![Crews' trolling motor of choice is the Motorguide X5.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/04_6.jpg)
![He has his trolling motor tricked out with a G-Force Eliminator prop nut from T-H Marine and the Troll Perfect Advanced Steering Control unit. He says both remove vibration from the motor and help create a quieter ride.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/05_5.jpg)
![He also uses the ultra-popular G-Force trolling motor handle from T-H Marine. It's virtually unbreakable - no matter how often you fish - and it makes it easier to pull the trolling motor up in a hurry.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/06_5.jpg)

![These are Baby DDs in two of Crews' favorite colors, citrus shad, left, and cell mate.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/23_8.jpg)
![Like many anglers, Crews uses a Sharpie to mark the outside of his tackle storage boxes for quick access.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/24_8.jpg)

![Scissors and pliers are kept very conveniently in an ideal location near the console.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/35_4.jpg)
