Before Chris Baumgardner launched a pro career that so far has taken him to five Forrest Wood Cups and four Bassmaster Classics, he was a construction worker in charge of burying TV and telephone lines around Charlotte, N.C. He took truck-buying very seriously then, and still does today. He towed with a Toyota Tundra this year and logged about 18,000 miles. He also pocketed $11,000 dollars in Toyota Trucks Bonus Bucks contingency money.
"There's a lot to love about this truck including towing power, dependability and great looks, but on top of those features, Bonus Bucks kind of makes buying a Tundra a no-brainer if you're a tournament angler," Baumgardner said. "Toyota's backing up their support of bass fishing with real money that they're putting in the pockets of anglers who buy their vehicles and sign up for Bonus Bucks. In my opinion, we should support those who are willing to promote the sport that we love so much."
Bonus Bucks is simple. Drive a 2007 or newer Tundra, Sequoia, 4Runner or Tacoma, send in your registration form like Baumgardner did, become the highest-finishing eligible participant among the top 50% of the angling field in your sanctioned FLW- or BASS-affiliated tournament, and you win the Bonus Bucks.
