The Alabama Bass Trail will appear on network television next year when its Tournament Series airs on Fox Sports Southeast. Thirteen episodes and 65 re-airs will be televised on Sunday mornings.
FSS will televise 13 original 30-minute episodes on Sundays at 8 a.m. CT in the second half of 2016, officials said. Each show will feature a different tournament location. Footage will be taken on the water, during takeoffs and weigh-ins, and will also include in-depth interviews with the tournament winners.
"Being able to televise the Alabama Bass Trail Tournament Series on Fox Sports Southeast will allow us to feature our lakes, anglers and sponsors on a huge stage for outdoorsmen," said Kay Donaldson. "The exposure will not only be a bonus for the fishing industry in general, but will benefit the state of Alabama."
While the episodes take viewers inside the boats of the competitors as they navigate the lakes of Alabama, a production crew will film local eateries and attractions in the host city of each tournament location.
The 2016 Alabama Bass Trail will consist of 10 regular-season events (five in each of the North and South divisions), plus a championship tournament at Lake Eufaula in October.
