Let me make one thing clear: Russ Lane is not a wimp. The 6-foot, 3-inch veteran Bassmaster Elite Series angler was a standout athlete at Huntingdon College in his home state of Alabama and pitched for the Richmond Roosters minor league baseball team before becoming a professional angler. Today, when not on the road competing in B.A.S.S. tournaments, he stays in shape through low-impact cardiovascular workouts and rigorous weight training. Put simply, he’s one big, tough dude.
