Major League Fishing pro James Watson has signed on with the Elite Anglr Athlete program to promote the apparel company’s products and its objectives in supporting the fishing community.
Elite Anglr co-owner Alan McCulloch saw Watson’s hard work and dedication qualities as an ideal match for the angler lifestyle his company is promoting. “I will put (Watson) up against anyone when it comes to devotion to a company and his trade,” McCulloch said. “James matches up with the lifestyle in many ways. James' story in becoming a successful angler was done by grit and determination. His eight years of service in the U.S. Army, along with the various businesses he started in order to fund his dream of becoming a professional angler, is exactly what we want at Elite Anglr. Also, his dedication to the Shriners and what he does on the road visiting those kids in the hospital makes us proud.”
Watson’s friendship with McCulloch and “knowing (McCulloch’s) work ethic and commitment to bass fishing” made it an easy decision for Watson to sign on with Elite Anglr.
“When he told me what he was going to do, how he was going to do it and why he was going to do it, by knowing him, I told him I was there to support him,” Watson said. “Big Al is a doer and he is successful at everything he does.”
