Mark Hewkin was a whisperer of smallmouth bass. He and Dave Davis won the Sturgeon Bay Open four times, the first three matching the second championship run of the Bulls and a final time in 2007.

“If you actually look at it, he did the same thing in the Michigan BFL,” his son Jeramie said. “He knew how to catch smallmouth, 100 percent. It was amazing.”
