Tommy Sanders

For more than two decades, Tommy Sanders has been covering competitive bass fishing at the highest level. Sanders is synonymous with outdoors TV, gracing ESPN Outdoors for more than a quarter century. Jerry McKinnis, a model of longevity with 44 years of The Fishin’ Hole, said he believes Sanders holds the distinction of appearing on the network more than any of the thousands of other personalities. Besides starting FLW coverage, Sanders has hosted Stihl Timbersports, the Great Outdoor Games and the wraparound segments for the ESPN Outdoors block. But he’s mainly known as the host of The Bassmasters. Recently inducted into the Arkansas Outdoor Hall of Fame, Sanders is also known for his recent work as host of “Bassmaster LIVE” as well as host duties on 18 Bassmaster Classics.
