Rolley Tipler and Knucklehead Clinch the 2026 Bass Brawlers Nationwide Angler of the Year title.

Sep 26, 2026

The 2026 Bass Brawlers Nationwide season has officially come to a close, and Rolley Tipler and Knucklehead have earned the title of Angler of the Year.

Across the season, the duo put together the consistency and performance needed to finish on top of the Bass Brawlers Nationwide Bass Trail standings and claim the 2026 AOY championship.

The Angler of the Year title isn't won in a single tournament. It takes showing up, putting fish in the boat, and performing throughout an entire season. Rolley Tipler and Knucklehead did exactly that.

One trail. One purpose. One title earned.

Congratulations to Rolley Tipler and Knucklehead, your 2026 Bass Brawlers Nationwide Angler of the Year champions.

One Team. One Season. Angler of the Year.
