The hour-long broadcast of the 2012 Toyota Texas Bass Classic will debut at 9 a.m. EST on Nov. 11 on the NBC Sports Network. There will also be one weekday re-broadcast of the program, which will be announced at a later date.
The tournament, which took place Sept. 28-30 at Lake Conroe, was won by Bryan Thrift.
“Being able to air on NBC Sports Network is a great showcase for the world’s top anglers,” tournament director Lenny Francoeur said. “Sharing TTBC with such a large number of people is exciting, and it provides Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s conservation and education efforts with a broader audience. Fans will get a great look at what professional anglers deal with during competition."
TTBC officials also announced that the ShareLunker Club Tournament, which offers anglers a chance to win $100,000, is still open for interested participants. The competition runs through Oct. 21.
Only pre-registered members will be eligible to win and a $100 fee is required to register. Portions of the proceeds will benefit the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s youth outreach programs.
