New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and B.A.S.S. today announced the Bassmaster Elite Series will return to New York in 2014.
The specific venue and dates for the event were not revealed, but a Governor's Challenge featuring the governor, other elected state officials and some of the biggest names in professional fishing will be held in conjunction in the Finger Lakes area.
Since 2007, B.A.S.S. has hosted numerous Elite Series and Open tournaments across New York, from Lake Erie and the Niagara River in western New York to Cayuga Lake and Oneida Lake in the central region of the state. The governor and B.A.S.S. made the announcement today at the St. Lawrence River Elite Series in Waddington, N.Y.
“From the Finger Lakes to the Hudson River to Long Island, New York is home to world-class fishing for all anglers and these destinations are waiting to be discovered,” said Cuomo, an avid and lifelong angler.
