Jacob deGrom,

To read the full interview online, scan this tag or go to boatingmag.com/ jacob-degrom. Have you always been into fishing and boating? Growing up in Florida, we went fishing every chance we got. Mostly fresh water for largemouth, but we’d also go a little bit in Mosquito Lagoon.

What’s the biggest largemouth bass you’ve ever caught? It was 6 pounds. I caught it on a Zoom Horny Toad.

Do you get to fish during the season?

During spring training, I fish quite a bit, but it’s hard to get ’ out during the regular season. I try to fish a lot during the offseason.

Do you own a boat?

I own a 21-foot Back Country with a Mercury Pro XS 250.

What’s a typical day?

I like to take my 2-year-old out fishing. It’s tough fishing, but I grew up going out with my dad, and I still love it to this day. Hopefully, I can pass that on to my son. ’
