BoatUS Angler in action

BoatUS Angler in action

Tanner Parker is a construction management major at Georgia Southern University so he’s well-versed in matters involving tensional stress and load factors. However, a high-speed collision with a piece of floating debris shortly after takeoff at the recent BoatUS Collegiate Bass Fishing Championship on Pickwick Lake led to some unexpected stressful tension for the 21-year-old.


“The boat behind me saw the whole thing, and they said my boat did a 360 when I hit whatever it was that I hit,” said Parker.

He was not injured and he happened to be fishing alone that day, saving a partner from the possibility of injury, too.

“As soon as I realized I wasn’t hurt, I dialed TowBoatUS Captain Shane O’Neal who I had met the night before while signing up for a membership,” Parker added. “My hope was to get off the water quickly, fix was what was broken, and get back out there fishing. TowBoatUS got me off the water very quickly, and was able to make trips to three different marine dealers, one of which was an hour-and-a-half away. But I eventually realized I didn’t have the time to get back out there and fish the ledges that day.”

Parker wasn’t the only angler to sing the praises of a membership to BoatUS Angler following the tournament. 
 


University of Texas angler Kyle Marek found himself broke-down at the extreme opposite end of Pickwick from the launch ramp. In fact, it took 45 minutes for TowBoatUS to make the long run to get him, and over 2 hours to pull Marek back to the launch ramp. Still, he was very grateful. Marek told BoatUS Angler Brand Manager Steve Levi, “BoatUS Angler's towing service is the greatest thing ever. If I could buy a lifetime membership, I would.”
 


Tournament champions Ben Dziwulski and Ethan Cox of North Carolina State University didn’t need a tow, but they did haul home a $1,000 Weigh-to-Win bonus check from BoatUS Angler as a result of their membership. 
 


Being a college student is not a requirement in order to benefit from an affordable membership to BoatUS Angler. It pays to be BoatUS Angler member, regardless of what B.A.S.S., FLW, LBAA, Collegiate Bass or PAA events you compete in, especially when you’re registered for the Weigh-to-Win cash tournament bonus program. To make sure you are eligible for the rest of the 2012 season, call (918) 742-6424 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. CST, Monday through Friday. Be sure to ask for Kendell and she’ll get you signed up.
