Garmin pro Justin Hamner wins the 2024 Bassmaster Classic championship
Win marks fourth Bassmaster Classic victory with
Hamner secured the lead after day one and never looked back. In only his second Bassmaster Classic appearance, Hamner secured a wire-to-wire victory at the iconic event with a three-day weight total of 58 pounds 3 ounces from his boat exclusively equipped with Garmin electronics, including ECHOMAP™ Ultra 2 chartplotters, the Force™ trolling motor and LiveScope Plus.
"Fishing is trial and error, and I rely heavily on my Garmin electronics to help me more confidently make decisions on every lake we fish. Like when the wind really started blowing on Day 2, I could tell on my LiveScope that the fish were keyed into the bait blowing through and wouldn't bite my jerkbait. So, I switched it up and started relying on LiveScope to target the fish in the brushpiles instead, and I quickly caught two 5-pounders that helped me maintain the lead. LiveScope helps me respond to the changing conditions in real time, which is a big part of the success I had out there on Grand."
–Justin Hamner, 2024 Bassmaster Classic Champion
"From our entire Garmin team, we want to congratulate Justin on becoming the newest Bassmaster Classic World Champion. We are incredibly proud of him and all the Garmin anglers who competed at this year's event. It's an honor to support them with the best electronics and technology available as they compete at the sport's highest level."

To be competitive on bass fishing's biggest stage, Garmin anglers relied on ECHOMAP Ultra 2 keyed-assist touchscreen chartplotters with built-in support for Garmin's crystal-clear Ultra High-Definition scanning sonar as well as the revolutionary LiveScope series. Garmin was the first to bring the revolutionary live scanning sonar technology to recreational fishing, which delivers images of structure, bait and fish swimming below and around the boat in real time, even while stationary.
The ECHOMAP Ultra 2 series is preloaded with Garmin Navionics+ mapping which offers unparalleled coverage, detail and convenience, and an included 1-year subscription for daily updates. For an enhanced picture of what's below, Garmin pro anglers also utilize Garmin Navionics Vision+™ premium mapping which offers an unprecedented level of detail with up to 1-foot contours, along with high-resolution relief shading for a clearer view of the bottom of the lake.
What's more, when wirelessly integrated with Garmin Force, the industry's most powerful1 and most efficient trolling motor, anglers can create routes, patterns and tracks for the trolling motor to follow while they fish. Its high-efficiency brushless motor operates at either 36V or 24V, and it's ultraquiet too, so it won't scare the fish.
