Whether you’re a longtime fisherman or woman or are just getting interested in spending more time out on the water, there is something about the “lure” of the sport that may be pulling you in.
There’s nothing like the cash, prizes, and camaraderie of a full-blown Arkansas bass tournament to get you thinking about taking the plunge for some serious fun—whether it’s from a land site or out in your very own boat.
