Overview of B.A.S.S.
No one could have predicted that the 106 fishermen competing in Ray Scott's first tournament in 1967 would one day turn into a membership organization more than half a million strong. It would have been just as impossible to predict that the BASS newsletter, first distributed in 1968, would evolve into Bassmaster Magazine, the bible of today's bass fisherman — but it happened.
A Bit of B.A.S.S. History
BASS, born and raised in Montgomery, Ala., was founded by Ray Scott with simple goals in mind: to create a credible and honorable tournament trail, to improve our environment by uniting and amplifying the voices of anglers and to secure a future for our youth. In the past four decades BASS has met all these goals and more.
History Continues
It would take volumes to list the accomplishments of BASS over the years, but two may be most significant. In 1972, BASS initiated a "Don't Kill Your Catch" program that evolved into the modern "catch-and-release" ethic now practiced by nearly all bass anglers. In 1984, BASS lobbied Congress in support of the Wallop-Breaux amendment, which generates more than $200 million annually for state fisheries.
Tournaments
The first Classic, held on Lake Mead near Las Vegas, Nev., awarded a winner-take-all paycheck of $10,000 and was witnessed by a straggling handful of spectators. Today, tens of thousands of people cram into coliseums to watch the daily weigh-ins, and $1,194,500 is awarded to the anglers — $500,000 of which goes to the champion.

BASSMASTER HEADLINE NEWS

Welcome to the Frontpage

“There has been a development that has led to a ruling that a boat used by a Team member of West Georgia Basshunters did not qualify under the rules as an alternate boat.  This was discovered after the Tournament and although it was not an intentional violation, it still leads to a rule infraction.  It has been determined that the weight of the contender in question, will be forfeit, for the last day of the tournament. 

The weight disqualification would lead to the 1st Place Team being awarded to Six Mile Bassmasters.  The only other Statistic would be that individual moving from 56 to sixtieth position and the previous 56th –  60th place moving up one slot.

This was an unfortunate situation and the Officers and Directors of the GBFN will add a specific procedure to the tournament format to prevent this from occurring in the future.

Congratulations to Six Mile Bassmasters for their 1st Place Finish.”

The original postings will be modified to reflect these results as soon as the Webmaster  can access the files and the original files can be replaced.
