BASS is the largest membership organization of bass anglers in the U.S. with more than 500,000 members. It was purchased by ESPN in 2001 and includes several media platforms, including three magazines and a popular web site. The investor group is a powerful combination of business acumen and superior knowledge of the outdoors industry. With the completion of the transaction, the purchasing party assumes ownership of BASS and will run the Celebration, Fla.,-based company. As part of the agreement, ESPN will continue to air BASS core television programming assets – the Bassmaster Elite Series and Bassmaster Classic – for multiple years. “We are proud of our employees’ contribution to BASS this past decade and we are pleased to continue ESPN’s association going forward,” said George Bodenheimer, co-chairman, Disney Media Networks and president, ESPN. Inc. “Under the direction of Don Logan, Jerry McKinnis and Jim Copeland, BASS will be well positioned to serve angler’s interests for many years to come.” Investor and outdoorsman McKinnis has a long and rich history with ESPN as the host of the network’s second longest-running show, The Fishin’ Hole, which aired from 1980 until 2007. McKinnis, who has been involved in outdoors television since hosting a fishing show for KATV in Little Rock, Ark., in 1964, has developed a special connection with outdoorsman and anglers with his innovative programming and accessibility.

05/26/10 — Bass fishing enthusiasts will want to stow a digital camera in the tackle box this summer for a chance to win $1 million for catching a record largemouth bass anywhere in Florida.BountyFishing.com, the place where anglers compete for cash prizes uploading photos of the biggest fish, announced the Florida Million Dollar Bass Bounty — an Internet-managed fishing tournament that will pay $1 million to the fisherman who sets the new state largemouth bass record.
The Million Dollar Bass Bounty is open to all anglers legally fishing in any public body of water in Florida from July 5 to Aug. 1, 2010. Sign-up costs $7 per day or $19 for one week. The first 1,000 entrants will receive a 50 percent discount by paying only $38 for all four weeks.
BountyFishing.com has partnered with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and the nonprofit Wildlife Foundation of Florida to use a portion of the proceeds to conserve Florida’s fish and wildlife habitats for future generations.
BountyFishing.com makes tournament fishing accessible to the remaining 40 million anglers across North America, allowing them to compete when they want, where they want for just a few dollars. BountyFishing.com’s patent-pending remote tournament technology and licensed “FBI-Strength” imaging forensics determine fishing contest winners by analyzing catch photos. Validating pictures at the end of the week, instead of weighing fish at the end of the day, allows BountyFishing.com competitors to practice immediate catch-and-release fishing, which puts minimal stress on the fish and habitat.
Florida’s current largemouth bass record of 17 pounds, 4 ounces set July 1986 is impressive but not insurmountable. In 2008, an 18 pound, 8 ounce bass caught in Florida exceeded the record but was never certified by an FWC biologist (nor was a 20-pound, 2-ounce behemoth hooked in 1923).
Tom Champeau, FWC’s Director of the Division of Freshwater Fisheries Management said, “We are convinced there are state-record breaking bass swimming somewhere in Florida waters, and we want your help to find them. Thanks to BountyFishing.com, you now have a million more reasons to go fishing in Florida.”
BountyFishing CEO and Founder, Richard Shafter added, “If you are a bass angler grab a digital camera and come to Florida this July to take your shot at winning a million dollars.”
To sign-up for the Florida Million Dollar Bass Bounty visit BountyFishing.com/FL, and half of your registration fee will be donated to the Wildlife Foundation of Florida to fund wildlife conservation projects and related public education efforts across the state of Florida.

Lake Okeechobee Fishing on FIRETuesday, March 23rd, 2010
 Trophy Fishing on Lake Okeechobee
Today was such an AWESOME day on the water at the “Big O” Lake Okeechobee. Bill, Larry and Steve had a very great day. Like always happend,we missed some hawgs today but managed to put this nice stringer together. Bill had on one hawg over 10lbs, when that big fish hit his giant shiner it sounded like a bowling ball explosion. He fought her for a while, it snapped twenty pound big game fishing line like it was paper. That will wait for him on his next trip. Bye the end of the trip we had over twenty fish up to six pounds! Till next time tight lines and good fishing…. BASSonline.com is Florida largest freshwater Guide Service, specializing in Florida bass fishing on lakes, canals and rivers.
