Michael Iaconelli, the 2003 Bassmaster Classic champ and 2006 Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year, once considered becoming a hockey pro.
It’s true — and, according to Iaconelli, a fact not publicly revealed before now.
The story came to light because of a humorous video titled Ice Trolling that’s posted on his website. In it, the Bassmaster Elite Series pro expertly glides across frozen water. When asked where he learned to skate so well, he revealed that he came close to pursuing a career chasing pucks.
