Second Place, First-Class Performance: Pro-Guide at Lake Guntersville
Posted by Briann Rivet on 10th Feb 2026
Lake Guntersville delivered exactly what it’s known for: big moments, tight margins, and anglers pushed to the limit.
When the dust settled, Pro-Guide Title Sponsor Stetson Blaylock stood tall with a 2nd-place finish, proving once again that consistency, preparation, and dependable power matter when every ounce counts.
Twelve seasons into his Elite Series career, Stetson Blaylock continues to show why experience matters.
Across four demanding days on Guntersville, Blaylock stayed locked. Fishing through freezing conditions and constant pressure while putting his equipment to the test. A second-place finish isn’t luck. It’s the result of preparation and gear that performs when the stakes are high.
“At this level, you can’t afford distractions. Your power system has to work, period.”
We’re proud to have Stetson representing Pro-Guide as our Title Sponsor, and even prouder to see him competing at the top of the field.
