Josh Douglas is a Minnesota born professional bass angler competing on the 2022 Bassmaster Elite Series.

After much success and numerous tournament wins at the state level, Josh jumped head first to continue his growth and develop on the national scene. When not traveling the country competing in tournaments, Josh owns and operates a premier guide service on famed Lake Mille Lacs.

I started fishing travel tournaments when I was 17. I’ve fished MLF, BASS, and FLW pro events. I’ve won 5 Tour level events including a Bassmaster Classic. These days I spend more time working in the fishing industry than fishing professionally. I own Duckett Marine and Duckett Fishing, providing products and services to anglers. I am the Co- Founder of Major League Fishing and spend most of my hours serving as President and CEO of MLFLW.
