EUFAULA, Ala. – This past Thursday was National Women and Girls in Sports Day, and two women found themselves celebrating as they prepared for the 2020 Bass Pro Tour. Hillary David and Vannetta Groeteke made history this week as the first-ever female officials on the Bass Pro Tour.

David and Groeteke passed all of their training and exams with flying colors prior to the start of the season to get their names on the roster of officials.

David had the honor of being the first of the two on the water for Day 1. She was paired with Josh Bertrand, who finished his day with seven bass for 26 pounds, 6 ounces and good enough for second place. David said she definitely had some first-day jitters riding shotgun with Bertrand.

“I was excited but also a little nervous,” David said. “When I found out I was going to get to be an official this season, I was just beside myself. To finally be here and getting to be a part of this sport is just amazing.”
