Bassin' magazine has been named the official magazine of Major League Fishing, the magazine and the league announced today.
Bassin, a six-times yearly publication that offers fishing tips, feature stories and industry news, will offer content provided by MLF in addition to its staff-generated stories and reports. The Bixby, Okla.-based magazine also will sponsor portions of upcoming MLF telecasts.
“I believe Major League Fishing is going to revolutionize tournament fishing,” said Bassin' publisher Brad Uhl. “Major League Fishing is based on a great concept, and the league is executing that concept extremely well. We are delighted to be entering into this venture with Major League Fishing.”
MLF is scheduled to tape two events in 2012. The first will be televised during the first quarter of 2013. An extended Internet pay-per-view version also will be available.
“We believe this is a partnership that will offer many benefits to the bass-fishing community,” said MLF commissioner Don Rucks. “We’re extremely pleased to be working with Bassin' to offer fresh content to people who love and appreciate what both Bassin' and Major League Fishing are contributing to the fishing community.”
