<strong>DENNY BRAUER</strong> has been in the Top 10 of All-Star voting since voting began Aug. 28 on the strength of his long and storied career as a professional bass fisherman. The flipping master is a favorite among longtime fans of the sport. <strong><a href=](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Brauer-Denny.jpg)

How about a guided trip on Grand Lake? <strong>TERRY BUTCHER</strong> is offering to take a fan out on the 2013 Bassmaster Classic waters if he gets into All-Star Week. If he makes it in, he'll get to fish against his brother-in-law, Edwin Evers, who qualified by virtue of his Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year ranking. <strong><a href=](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Butcher-Terry.jpg)

<strong>BRANDON CARD </strong>remembers his roots. An alumnus of the Bassmaster College fishing program, Card will donate 20 percent of his winnings to the University of Kentucky fishing team, and his sponsor Onyx Outdoors will provide free gear to the team. "Fishing in college at the University of Kentucky was critical to my development as a fisherman, and I want to help this next group of anglers chasing their dreams." <strong><a href=](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Card-Brandon.jpg)

<strong>RICK CLUNN</strong> has been neck-and-neck with fellow veteran pro Denny Brauer since voting for All-Star Week started. Clunn has built a loyal fan base over the years, especially with his record four Bassmaster Classic wins. He has a strong following on Facebook, where he told his thousands of fans that he would love the opportunity to compete at All-Star. <strong><a href=](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Clunn-Rick.jpg)

<strong>JOHN CREWS</strong> is looking out for the kids with his promotion. "I will donate 25 percent of anything I win during All-Star Week to Tackle the Storm Foundation," he explained. "It is needed with Hurricane Isaac just coming through recently." He added a little jab, as well: "I am not trying to buy votes; I'm leaving that to the November elections." <strong><a href=](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Crews-John.jpg)

"Vote for me so I can represent the B.A.S.S. Federation Nation," said <strong>JAMIE HORTON,</strong> who qualified to fish the Elite Series by winning the 2011 Cabela's Bassmaster Federation Nation Championship. The Alabama angler will be competing in the 2012 championship next month. <strong><a href=](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Horton-Jamie.jpg)
![<p>
<strong>MICHAEL IACONELLI</strong> is one of the most polarizing pros on the circuit: Some fans love him, and others love to hate him. His notoriety has paid off with tons of All-Star votes, placing him daily in either the first or second spot. The pro asked his thousands of Facebook fans to vote for him: "I need all the help I can get because I'd sure like to represent in Illinois!" <strong><a href=](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Iaconelli-Michael.jpg)
![<p>
<strong>ALTON JONES</strong> has got <em>Bassmaster</em> Magazine's No. 1 lake on his mind. "If I'm voted in to All-Star Week and win the tournament, I'm going to take one of my Facebook fans on an all-expenses-paid fishing trip to Falcon Lake," said Jones. "Go to <strong><a href=](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Jones-Alton.jpg)
![<p>
<strong>CHRIS LANE</strong> wants to help out young anglers. He will donate 10 percent of his winnings to five local high school fishing teams near his Guntersville, Ala., home, and his sponsor Frogg Toggs will provide free gear to the teams as well. "Since winning the Classic, I have been overwhelmed by the fan response. The fans have made this year such an amazing experience that I hope they will respond again so this fishing season doesn't end with the Elite Series!" <strong><a href=](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Lane-Chris.jpg)
![<p>
<strong>BILL LOWEN </strong>of North Bend, Ohio, really wants a chance to fish in Illinois because it is so close to where he is from. "The 2012 Bassmaster Classic and Elite Series were extremely fulfilling for me as a competitive angler," Lowen explained. "I feel like I am in my fishing prime and would love to have a shot at the Top 11 pros on a Midwestern lake." <strong><a href=](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Lowen-Bill.jpg)
![<p>
<strong>AARON MARTENS </strong>will be one hairy guy if he makes it to All-Star Week. The pro told fans he won't shave until the event if he is voted in: "We are talking ZZ-Top style," he said during a B.A.S.S. Twitter chat. He also plans to donate a large portion of his winnings to the Tackle the Storm Foundation if he gets to participate. Currently, Martens is right on the edge of the Top 4, sitting in fourth place as of today. <strong><a href=](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Martens-Aaron.jpg)
![<p>
<strong>BRITT MYERS </strong>wants to trick out your truck! If he gets voted into Toyota Trucks All-Star Week, the pro will give away a set of ATX Series rims and NITTO tires, his tournament jersey, a rod/reel combo and a day of fishing. He asked fans to vote for him for several reasons, including, "I always have a good time out there and hope that I am spreading the love for fishing." <strong><a href=](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Myers-Britt2.jpg)
![<p>
<strong>TAKAHIRO OMORI </strong>has had two major benefits going into All-Star voting. He earned a lot of American fans when he won the 2004 Bassmaster Classic, followed by a Tour event and an Open event in less than 18 months. But an even bigger benefit for him this year is that All-Star voting has been opened up to include Japanese fans, and the East has shown up to support Omori and other Japanese anglers. <strong><a href=](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Omori-Takahiro.jpg)
![<p>
<strong>BRANDON PALANIUK </strong>burst onto the pro fishing scene only two years ago, but he has gained fans at a crazy pace. He came from the B.A.S.S. Federation Nation and qualified to fish the Elite Series as the BFN's 2010 champion. Since then, he has won an Elite Series event and placed fourth in the 2011 Classic. His motto, as all his fans know, is "Do work." Currently, he's sitting just outside the Top 4 cut in fifth place. <strong><a href=](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Palaniuk-Brandon2.jpg)
![<p>
<strong>KEITH POCHE </strong>isn't holding back. "If I get voted in, I will donate 100 percent of my winnings to a charity that the fans choose," said Poche. "If the fans get me in, I'll do as they wish." The Pike Road, Ala., angler said he'll pick whichever charity fans mention the most after his win. <strong><a href=](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Poche-Keith.jpg)
![<p>
<strong>MATT REED </strong>wants his fans to get to enjoy a day of hawg-slaying on Texas' Falcon Lake. If he gets into All-Star Week, he'll give a fan a two-day guided bass fishing excursion, not including transportation and lodging. <strong><a href=](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Reed-Matt.jpg)
![<p>
<strong>SKEET REESE </strong>is a long-time favorite on the pro circuit, his bright yellow color scheme visible from a mile away. The pro has one Classic win under his belt and three Bassmaster Elite Series victories. He's stayed within the Top 10 since All-Star voting began and is in third place as of today. <strong><a href=](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Reese-Skeet.jpg)

<strong>BRADLEY ROY </strong>plans to use his winnings in memory of his grandmother, Judy Roy. Judy died of ovarian cancer just prior to Roy's rookie season on the Elite Series. He'll donate 20 percent of his winnings to the Ovarian Awareness of Kentucky (O.A.K.) if he is voted in to All-Star. "Ovarian cancer directly affected my family," said Roy. "September is National Ovarian Cancer Awareness month, and I hope this will help the cause." <strong><a href=](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Roy-Bradley2.jpg)

"Fans should vote for me because I can crank deeper than anyone else!" said <strong>JEREMY STARKS</strong> in an All-Star Twitter chat last week. Besides, he's throwing in an all-expenses-paid two-day fishing trip. "And if I win, I'm going to donate part of the winnings to B.A.S.S. Federation Nation youth clubs," he added. <strong><a href=](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Starks-Jeremy.jpg)
![<p>
<strong>GERALD SWINDLE'S </strong>fishing skill alone might have gotten him into All-Star Week, but paired with his comedic abilities, the pro has really set himself up for a slot in All-Star Week. His motto for fans the last two weeks of voting has been: "Save the Rednecks. Vote for Swindle." He has promised to give away thousands of dollars' worth of goodies to fans if he gets the vote, and he will pay for one fan to attend All-Star Week as his guest. <strong><a href=](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Swindle-Gerald_1.jpg)

<strong>J TODD TUCKER </strong>is looking out for the fans who look out for him. He'll choose his winners among his Facebook and Twitter fans. "I am donating 25 percent of my earnings to breast cancer awareness, along with an all-expenses-paid guide trip on the Flint River, shoal bass fishing with me," said Tucker. "Also, I have pledged to give away my personal Big Green Egg grill." <strong><a href=](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Tucker-J20Todd.jpg)
