Tommy Martin enjoyed a 40-year career as a fishing guide and professional tournament angler. He qualified for 19 BassMaster Classics and won it in 1974. He won five BASS national titles and 19 national tournaments. He was the first professional bass angler to acquire cash sponsors, and his winnings make him a member of the "Million Dollar Club." Tommy routinely fished 250 or more days a year and still had time to help involve youth and others in the sport of fishing.

Texas Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame seeks to recognize and honor those who have made a lasting contribution to freshwater fishing in Texas and to foster awareness and appreciation of and participation in the sport of fishing.
