Long John #58X (2010 – February 21, 2017) was an American bucking bull. He competed in the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) and Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) circuits. He was the PBR World Champion Bull in 2015. He tied for the title in 2016 with two other bulls (Bruiser and Pearl Harbor), but the tie breaker went to his brother, Bruiser. In 2015, he was the PRCA Reserve Champion Bull, coming in second to Kish's #849 Crystal Deal. In 2016, Time Magazine selected Long John for its 100 Most Influential Animals of 2016, at 50th place. Long John became both a fan favorite and a bull rider favorite by the end of his career. The PBR CEO, Sean Gleason, said, shortly after his death: "Long John was a phenomenal athlete with the heart of a champion."[1]
In 2023, Long John was ranked No. 15 on the list of the top 30 bulls in PBR history.[2]
