Major League Fishing (MLF) announced today that Bass Cat Boats has joined the organization's sponsorship lineup.
"When they first contacted us about Major League Fishing, we jumped in early at that first opportunity," said Bass Cat owner Rick Pierce. "This is exciting and will change anglers’ styles as their approach will be different from normal tournament fishing.
“The format will capture the viewers and present a totally new angle of the sport. Just seeing how the audience reacts will be interesting. It is not like a typical bass tournament. It’s more of a very high-amp skins game, sort of an IROC race on steroids. We are pleased to be a part of the new format the anglers and the Major League Fishing directors have presented. "
Major League Fishing’s first event, the Challenge Cup, took place November 6-11 on Lake Amistad near Del Rio, Texas. It will be offered beginning Feb. 13 on a series of Internet-based pay-per-view broadcasts and will air on the Outdoor Channel in April.
“We are extremely pleased that Bass Cat sees the excitement and the long-term potential of Major League Fishing, and we’re honored that this excellent company is stepping up as a sponsor,” said MLF commissioner Don Rucks.
