Pete Robbins

Pete Robbins has practiced law since 1995, first for a major Washington, D.C. law firm, and subsequently in the General Counsel’s Office for a Cabinet-level agency, where he specializes in matters relating to Federal administrative law, energy and the environment. He is also a Senior Writer for Bassmaster Magazine, a prolific blogger and has written for numerous other magazines, websites and outdoors television programs. Furthermore, he consults for numerous companies endemic to the fishing industry and leads trips on behalf of Anglers Inn International to Mexico for largemouths and to Brazil for peacock bass. He joined the Board of the BFHOF in 2018, and currently utilizes his vast legal experience as the Chair of the Bylaws Committee. He often dreams of adding new species to his “life list” and frequently obsesses about giant trevally, bluefin tuna and golden dorado in addition to double-digit bass. Pete and his wife Hanna operate halfpastfirstcast.com, a website devoted to fishing travel.
