Veteran Missouri pro Guido Hibdon and his grandson, Payden, have decided to leave the ranks of the 2015 Walmart FLW Tour, but hope to resume their tournament careers in the future.

Like several other pros, the Hibdons, of Sunrise Beach, Mo., were victims of cutbacks in sponsor dollars that began last fall and left many anglers scrambling for financial support just before the 2015 tournament season opened. Dion Hibdon, Guido’s son and Payden’s father, lost a major sponsorship when Chevy pulled out as an FLW backer and dissolved the Chevy fishing team to which Dion belonged. However, the Bassmaster Classic and Forrest Wood Cup champion will continue to fish the Tour. He’ll travel to tournaments with his younger son, Lawson, 18, who will fish as a co-angler.

Payden, 23, is married with one daughter and another on the way. His grandfather, Guido, and grandmother, Stella, have been fixtures in the national tournament scene for decades. Guido is a multiple-time B.A.S.S. Angler of the Year as well as Bassmaster Classic champion.

“It’s up in the air right now, but we want to continue our fishing careers,” says Payden. “It’s just been difficult to get sponsors now, the way everybody got dropped all at once. It was too late in the year to pick up anybody new.”

According to Bill Taylor, FLW’s senior director of tournament operations, Jeremy Starks and Jim Dillard have been called up from the reserve list, and both have indicated they would fill the two vacant spots in the Tour roster.
