Fat Cat Newton

Fat Cat Newton is a Potomac River-raised fishing personality whose absurd, self-aware humor and larger-than-life presence have made him instantly recognizable in fishing media. He blends real fishing life with laugh-out-loud skits and storytelling that have built a loyal following across Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. His tagline, “I’m the best fisherman I ever met,” comes straight from his own mouth and perfectly captures the Fat Cat mindset. His self-deprecating style has earned coverage in major fishing outlets, and he has served as emcee for the Dick Hiley St. Jude Bass Classic while being featured by St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital for putting his humor and heart behind their mission. Fat Cat is also part of the National Professional Fishing League live coverage team, including in-studio commentary work. Many consider his approach a trailblazing, trendsetting pioneer simply because nobody else delivers fishing content quite like Fat Cat Newton.
