James “JMFW WORLDWIDE” Watson
James “JMFW WORLDWIDE” Watson, is known for his quick wit and knack for jokes on the water. A US Army Veteran serving nine years of active duty as an engineer and drill sergeant turned real-estate mogul, Watson has used his success to fuel his passion for fishing. As a self-made angler, he equally enjoys balancing the competition and the business sides of the bass community.
With the support of his business partners, Watson stepped back from the real estate world and put full focus on fishing in 2013. The Missouri native prefers fishing in clear, highland reservoirs, much like that of Table Rock Lake. Being close to this body of water has proven to be an asset in Watson’s tournament placings.
Watson has won gold with the USA Bass team, captured the Ultimate Match Fishing title, and won high level tour events all over the country. He prides himself on his personality, often gaining him media attention, which positively promotes his sponsors.
Fishing boat docks is not just WORLDWIDE’s favorite way to fill his live wells, it’s also his new outdoor lifestyle clothing brand. The 2025 season will be a fresh start for the Missouri angler who will be fishing in his first season with The National Professional Fishing League.
Watson has said, “Fishing can be done at all ages, as long as you have the right tools and health to do it.” He is adamant about introducing the next generation of bass anglers to the industry, specifically motivating them to set goals and follow through them. All eyes are watching where James “WORLDWIDE” Watson will go with his professional fishing career.
