Elite Man Caves: Tyler Carriere

Bassmaster Elite Series pro Tyler Carriere has converted one bay of his garage into a man cave that serves as a refuge and workshop.

Carriereâs man cave is his domain.

One of the trophies on the wall is the mount of a 12-pound, 13 1/2-ounce bass Carriere caught when he was a high school senior in North Louisiana. He played hooky one day to go fishing at Caney Lake, which at the time was pumping out state-record bass. He was forced to come clean when he landed this monster bass.

Family is an important part of Carriereâs life, and there are reminders of of his children hanging on his wall.

These stuffed animals, sitting atop his toolbox, usually ride in the boat with Carriere so he never forgets the importance of his children.

Photos of his children serve as reminders of important family time.

Carriere is more than a bass angler. He also enjoys deer hunting, so he has mounts hanging of his biggest bucks
