Growing up in the Atchafalaya Basin in southeast Louisiana, Crochet cut his teeth fishing the swamps and bayous. He became the youngest-ever Louisiana State B.A.S.S. Federation Nation Champion in 2006 earning the name “Cajun Baby”, and set his eyes on fishing professionally. From 2007 to 2009 Cliff competed in the Bassmaster Open series and qualified for the 2010 Bassmaster Classic and an invitation to fish in the Bassmaster Elite Series.
Since his start on the Elite Series, Cliff has continued to develop his trade and increased his career B.A.S.S. earnings to $444,578. He has also competed in the Bassmaster Open series notching a championship victory in 2016. Lookout for the Cajun Baby on Major League Fishing now, as he takes his talents to that tour in 2019.
