Hi Matt!
For your 2013 GMC Sierra 1500, I recommend going with the Curt Front Mount Hitch # 31322. We technically have two options that are rated for the exact same capacities (the 500 pound tongue weight will be the one that's relevant to your needs), but this one is American made and would be the one I would go for if I was adding a front hitch to my Silverado (though technically I have a '16 and it would be a different Curt hitch, but that's beside the point).
What kind of fishing do you do? I moved from Southern California to Missouri and pretty much all my gear is for salt water, which is fairly impractical for most of the fishing out here. I want to try out fly fishing though. Looks like fun!
