About Harbor

From Cincinnati roots to the pro circuit—the hard way.

Harbor Lovin on the water

Living the dream on Kentucky Lake

Harbor Lovin's journey to professional bass fishing is a testament to grit, determination, and an unwavering passion for the sport. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Harbor discovered his love for fishing at a young age and never looked back.

After competing on the Murray State University fishing team, where he honed his skills against some of the best collegiate anglers in the country, Harbor made the decision to pursue bass fishing at the highest level. Unlike many pros who enter the sport with corporate backing, Harbor took a different path—funding his own career from the ground up.

"I came up the hard way," Harbor says. "No handouts. Every mile on the road, every entry fee, every piece of equipment—I earned it. That's what makes this journey mean something."

Now based in Dexter, Kentucky, just minutes from legendary Kentucky Lake, Harbor lives and breathes bass fishing. He shares his life with his wife Hunter, his college sweetheart and biggest supporter, who has been by his side through every high and low of the journey.

For the 2026 season, Harbor is competing in all seven events of the Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit presented by MillerTech. He runs an Allison XB21 bass boat powered by a Suzuki Stealth 250, equipped with cutting-edge Livescope technology that has become a cornerstone of his fishing approach.

When he's not on the water, Harbor is often found preparing for the next tournament, studying maps, or sharing his passion for fishing with the next generation of anglers.
