Bass Pro Shops is getting ready to ship their newest game for the Nintendo Wii, The Strike: Tournament Edition, due out mid-October. The tournament edition offers the same great gameplay you’re already familiar with from the first game, but now with a new focus on a true-to life tournament structure.
Experience a true-to-life tournament structure that focuses on all the real elements of an actual fishing tournament. Now, The Strike allows players to pre-fish a lake to test out equipment; challenge fellow fisherman to fishing contests; troll around a lake to get a feel for the layout and plot hot spots with their GPS, and even receive lake specific tips from their very own fishing mentor. Finally, sit back and enjoy a HUD-less fish fight because players are no longer forced to focus on meters and bars to reel in a fish — simply allow the feedback from the Wii remote to indicate the line tension and stamina of the fish.
Outdoor Channel and B.A.S.S. have announced that they will be bringing one of the highest-rated outdoor shows on TV to Outdoor Channel viewers. “The Bassmasters” showcases the Bassmaster Classic and Bassmaster Elite Series tournaments and will debut March 28, 2011.

Well right now, he’s in Louisiana getting ready to kick of the Bassmaster Classic. There pro fishermen finished their final day of practice, with an optional day of rest. The weather has been very cold during the practice days and made for tough fishing, but with a warm front on the way early in the season crazy things can happen and we could see some monster bass this weekend. Today they filed in for registration and interviews with local media. The tournament begins this thursday and will be complete on sunday.
B.A.S.S has announced their new official emcee, Toronto’s own- Dave Mercer! No doubt if you’re and avid reader on this blog you know who Dave Mercer is, and you’ve probably seen plenty of episodes of Facts of Fishing, or the FYI series. We’ll get ready to see a whole lot more of Dave next year as he is now the the new front man for Bassmaster Elite Series. I think this is a fantastic move for the Bassmaster series and a huge accomplishment for Dave. Congratulations Dave, we can’t wait to see what’s in store for us next year!
“We are so excited to bring Dave Mercer on board,” said Jerry McKinnis, an owner of B.A.S.S. “He has a tremendous following through his Facts of Fishing television show, and has a charisma I believe fishing fans are going to love.”
“This is a dream come true for me,” said Mercer. “At one time I used to dream about fishing the Bassmaster Classic. Then, after I fished with some of the Elite Series pros and realized how good they are, I altered my dream to emceeing the Classic! I never imagined it would become a reality.”
Dave’s first appearance will be at the Bassmaster Classic in New Orleans and can be seen on ESPN2, so mark your calendars!
Spreader bars should be pretty common knowledge among big league tuna fisherman, these bars spread out several lures or baits for a larger presentation- perfect for huge tuna. And anyone that’s ever used spreader bars can tell you that they tangle, they always tangle, and it’s always a mess to untangle and you’re losing precious fishing time for it. Well here comes Archer SuperBars the composite spreader bars that promise tangle free operation.
Was that video not enough to sway you? Why not ask Pro Staffer Rod Lathrop and Team Green Lightning Laundry and who won 2nd place finish in the annual Oregon Tuna Classic? Well, because the pictures speak for themselves..
You’ve waited long enough- here it is! The official Fishing Fury review of Rapala Pro Bass Fishing 2010 for the 360!
The road to creating a great fishing video game is very difficult, which is probably why there are so many bad fishing games out there. Trying to please fishermen and gamers alike is even more difficult. Today’s gamers demand more than ever in terms of graphics and entertaining gameplay while fishermen want an game style that feels like fishing. A good fishing game doesn’t have to capture every aspect of fishing, it only has to capture the rush you feel when you’re fishing.
Rapala and Activision have teamed up to combine their respective fields of expertise into an entertaining and immersive video game for every major gaming console (PS2, PS3, 360, Wii) and handheld (PSP, DS, iPhone/iTouch/iPad). Unfortunately I can’t review the game for every platform, though I may pick up the iPhone version later. I was however lucky enough to receive Rapala Pro Bass Fishing for the 360, complete with the full motion fishing rod controller, and since I was home sick with the flu it provided the perfect opportunity to really sit down and grind some lakes.
As of January 1, 2012, fresh waters in Massachusetts have gone lead free for sinkers and jigs under 1 oz. It's always good so see another steel option because tungsten is so much more [...]
Considering the "winter" we've been having here in New England, I couldn't give an honest review even if they just gave me one. I hope things are messier/colder up there.
John, well firstly this is a fishing blog and therefore we cover everything related to fishing that should be obvious. Both retailers you mentioned do not give any of their profits (that I know of) [...]
