Al Smith, former B.A.S.S. Federation director and chief of the BassFan Army membership program, landed a new fishing gig with prior employer Jay Kumar. Kumar is currently owner of Sasquatch Media.
Smith, who also held positions with US Angler's Choice, the Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs and the National Wild Turkey Federation, was not named to a specific position, but Kumar stated in the announcement: "Al is, bar none, the best membership person in the fishing business. He's highly regarded by the industry and fishermen, and I'm very glad to be working with him again."
Smith noted, "It's truly great to be working with Jay again. Jay and I share the same passion for grassroots bass fishermen, and we both are constantly looking for ways to make the sport more fun for weekend warriors. I'm very excited about the fact that we're going to be rolling out things that no one's ever seen before because no one's ever done them before. They'll be totally new and won't compete with anything that's already out there. It's a great feeling to be setting the bar again."
