Reeltown’s Bass Team members, Colt Adcock and Brody Ledbetter have been fishing since they were practically in diapers. What started as a way to spend time with their fathers, uncles and grandpas, quickly turned into a sport for these boys.
Adcock loved fishing so much as a boy that he started fishing with his uncle in tournaments. Then once he began high school, he joined the fishing team.
