Stokes was the most prolific participant
“Since 2010, when we first introduced the program, we have accepted and approved 4,887 trophy fish entries,” Good revealed. “Chase Stokes has 439 of those, almost 10 percent. Chase is our most prolific participant in the Master Angler Program. Far and away, he has entered more trophy-sized fish than any other angler, adult or kid, in the seven years of the program.”
Do not want to be a “PRO”
While Good describes Stokes as a “fishing maniac” but the young angler has no plans to be a pro. As for now at least, he treats angling as a hobby and wants to pursue a career in something else. “I would probably want to become a game warden because you get to be outdoors all of the time,” he explained.
