The News as of Oct 16,2008

So the stock market is tanking, a recession is looming and there’s no sign of hope for the economy. But at least there’s the sanctity of your fishing boat or favorite fishing hole, where it all can be forgotten...

There has never been a better time to pull a prize fish from your favorite spot.

Summer Recap

With membership and participation way up, it’s been an incredible summer for BountyFishing tournaments. And we’ve seen some trophy catches to prove it, including Saskatchewan’s Adam Konrad (Bounty member: Fishinggeek) landing an IGFA world record Rainbow Trout (43.6 lbs). Adam also took home the Boat US Angler Walleye Tournament win with a 30.02” Walleye.

MicroTournaments

With the economy suffering, our new Micro Tournament format is just what the doctor ordered. We’ve lowered the stakes and added more weekly tournaments, allowing you to enjoy the thrill of BountyFishing tournament competition for less! Enter any Micro Tournament for $2 per day or $5 per week and win your share of $250 in cash (per species).

Bounty Member Spotlight

The BountyTeam wants to welcome Sheldon Hatch of Ontario to the BountyFishing tournament community.

Sheldon’s a PWT pro, touring on the Masters Walleye Circuit and the Professional Walleye Trail. Are you good enough to beat this Walleye master? Bounty Member Adam Konrad (aka Fishinggeek) was, and relegated Sheldon to a 2nd place finish in the Week 43 Walleye Tournament.

We’re confident Mr. Hatch will be looking for revenge next week...
