  • "The Outback was very stable, quiet and maneuverable."

About Hank Parker:
Hank distinguished himself as an award-winning tournament fisherman, and quickly became one of America's most respected and popular professional fishermen. His professional career started in 1976 when he began fishing the National Bass Association Tournament Circuit, winning their national championship in his first season. In 1979 and 1989, Hank won the BassMaster's Classic and was the first angler to win the Grand Slam of Bass Fishing-which included the Classic, B.A.S.S. Angler of the Year, and the B.A.S.S. SuperBass Tournament.

Hank retired from the pro fishing circuit to devote more time to his family and to "Hank Parker's Outdoor Magazine", which launched in 1985, and airs on the Outdoor Life Network. Hank was described on CBS' Morning Show as "the rod-and-reel answer to Michael Jordan, in popularity and talent", and his cable show is among the most popular on television today, as he continues to entertain and educate viewers of all ages.

Through the years, Hank has maintained integrity and credibility among fishermen. That's why Hobie was pleased and proud when Hank enthusiastically endorsed the Hobie Mirage Outback Fisherman.
