The 2010 River Bassin Tournament Trail with Bass Pro Shops The 2010 eco-friendly River Bassin Tournament Trail will be comprised of 5 tournaments at 5 different Bass Pro Shops locations. Anglers will fish nearby rivers of their choice with man-powered watercraft and take photos of their catch on a ruler device given to them the previous evening. They will then bring back their camera’s memory card to the Bass Pro Shops location where a slide show “results show” will take place to determine the winner based on a 3 fish combined length. Prizes are awarded in 3 divisions – Avid Angler, Casual Angler and Young River Bassers. This was the simple, short version about the trail but feel free to click here to read the detailed rules.
The avid angler division will feature a River Basser of the Year grand prize that is already valued at $15,000 and is expected to continue to grow. Key sponsors getting involved include Jackson Kayak, True North Trailers and Amazon Expeditions.
*Prizes include new Jackson Kayaks, NuCanoe’s, Ascend Kayaks, a fully rigged Outdoor Support Vehicle from True North ($15,000) and an all expenses paid trip to the Amazon River to fish for peacock bass, and much more.
