The official site of Bass Anglers Jeff Chennette and Phil Zahab. Entering our fourth season of competitive bass fishing we are excited to announce our debut on the Renegade Bass Tour and look forward to competing against many of Canada's top anglers such as Real Fishing's Bob Izumi and FLW pro Charles Sims - who in the fall set a new Canadian record on Lake St-Francis, where Renegade have back to back tour events.

Other stops on tour this season include Big Rideau Lake, Newboro Lake, and Ottawa River.

Be sure to check out www.RenegadeBass.com for event schedules and results. Also this season we will continue competing in South Eastern Bass Open events.

If you share the same passion or are just a beginner, we invite you to contact us and share your fishing stories - we will post tips and techniques as well as pre-fishing and event reports as we make our way towards the Classic Championship and have a few laughs along the way.

See you on the water.

Why I fish:
Growing up along the Ottawa River gave me an opportunity to fish as much as I wanted but the funny thing is I did not fish very much but when I did, it was catfish. It wasn’t until I started camping out with Jeff on Big Rideau Lake and fishing out of his Rinker bow rider that gave me the addiction of fishing. It was that very first bass I caught in the lily pads with a rubber frog that gave me the adrenaline rush that got me hooked on bass. Since that time 7 yrs ago I have not stopped fishing for bass and to this day love going out searching for the monster of all bass.

We started a few camp ground tournaments 5 years ago and from there local events and then on to Renegade Bass which has really shown us how competitive bass fishing is in Ontario. I am confident one day we will hoist up a trophy and have lots of campfire stories to tell !
