American Bass Anglers Announces Gander Mountain $3,000.00 Collegiate Angler Scholarship Tour (CAST) Bonus Program
American Bass Anglers (ABA) is proud to announce the Gander Mountain Collegiate Angler Scholarship Tour (CAST) Bonus Program. The top CAST team by points after the ABA National Championship Tournament will receive a $1,500.00 shopping spree at Gander Mountain. The second place CAST team after the National will receive a $1,000 shopping trip. In addition, the CAST member that catches the biggest bass at the 2004 National Championship will receive a $500.00 shopping spree.
The CAST program allows College Bass Clubs to affiliate with the ABA. These full time college students can fish ABA tournaments with no entry fee. The top 5 members from each of the top ten CAST clubs will be invited with no entry fee to the 2004 National Championship Tournament to compete for their share of $10,000 in scholarships and the Gander Mountain Bonus program.
“Rewarding the top CAST teams fishing ABA events is a great way to create competition between the CAST clubs. The Gander Mountain Bonus program will allow the CAST teams that perform well to buy equipment for the members of their club. We expect great rivalries between these clubs” said Morris Sheehan, President of American Bass Anglers. He continued: “I would personally like to thank Gander Mountain for their support of the CAST program. They agree with us at ABA that this program is going to have a tremendous impact on the future of tournament bass fishing.”
