House Joint Resolution 1468 honors John Garrett, a native of Union City, Tennessee, for his remarkable achievement in winning the 2024 Bassmaster Elite Tournament on Harris Chain of Lakes. This victory is particularly notable as it occurred during Garrett's third appearance in the Elite tournaments. His passion for fishing began in childhood, inspired by his grandfather, and he has been actively involved in competitive fishing since 2012, when he co-founded the bass fishing team at Obion County Central High School. Garrett's journey in the sport includes a scholarship to Bethel University, where he competed from 2014 to 2019, and his qualification for the Bassmaster Elites in 2024 after participating in the Bassmaster Opens from 2020 to 2023.

The resolution expresses gratitude for the support Garrett receives from his wife, Morgan, and their eight-month-old daughter, Blaire. It recognizes Garrett's dedication and skill in competitive fishing, affirming his status as a champion in the sport. The General Assembly extends its congratulations and best wishes for his continued success as an Elite fisherman, husband, and father.
