In the recruiting world 5 Star Athletes are thought of as the complete all around athlete that any coach across the country would want to play for their team. These athletes demonstrate many things including motivation, passion, focus, resiliency, and competitive spirit towards their sports. With the continued growth in the sport of bass fishing, you are seeing high school anglers demonstrate these same attributes.
