If there was a central theme at last week's Harris Chain Bassmaster Elite Series in Florida, it'd be that nice guys finished 1st. Shaw Grigsby won the event, and Stephen Browning won the BoatUS Angler Weigh-to-Win $500 cash bonus for his strong 3rd-place finish.
That's right: You don't have to win the tournament to win the Weigh-to-Win cash. But like Browning, BassFans do need to sign up for a highly affordable BoatUS Angler membership and towing service to become eligible to cash in.
Browning's bride of 14 years, Tammy, asked him why he bought a BoatUS Angler membership when his official paperwork arrived at their home and he told her, "Because it will give me peace of mind on the road, and on the water. If I break down or have dead batteries, I can call them and they'll dispatch somebody to help me, and anything I can do to be in a better state of mind on the water will help me perform better as a competitor." That's the essence of the BoatUS Angler "Weigh-to-Win" program, for as little as $38 a year, tournament anglers at all levels can get peace of mind plus cash bonuses too.
"The Toyota Bonus Bucks and Weigh-to-Win programs are really important to help pay for all the expenses tournament anglers face," said Browning, who made a clean sweep of both bonuses at the Harris Chain of Lakes. "I'll tell you how important it is: When I made the Top-12 cut, I was in the angler meeting looking around at the rest of the pros in the Top 12 trying to figure out how many were eligible to win the Weigh-to-Win bonus cash other than myself."
The Weigh-to-Win program will pay the highest-placing registered angler in most B.A.S.S., FLW and PAA events, as well as the BoatUS Collegiate Bass Fishing Championship. For as little as $38, the cost of a BoatUS Angler membership and Unlimited On-the-Road Towing service, an angler who performs well in a single B.A.S.S. Weekend Series tournament could win a $150 cash bonus.
Getting signed-up for Weigh-to-Win is simple. Go to BoatUSFishing.com or call (877) 584-2628 to purchase an affordable Unlimited On-the-Road or On-the-Water BoatUS Angler towing membership. Then plug your membership number into the Weigh-to-Win registration form and you're ready to fish, win and have "peace of mind."
