MINNETONKA, MN-Competitive bass anglers will have an exciting new venue in 2011 with hefty payouts and world-class fishing. North American Membership Group, parent company of the North American Fishing Club, is launching the Masters Bass Circuit.

Following the successful model of the company’s Cabela’s Masters Walleye Circuit, which is now entering its 27th season, the bass circuit will follow a two-person, team format, giving anglers an affordable way to fish for high stakes and enjoy intense competition in a professionally run format.

“We are planning on four tournaments in 2011 in the Minnesota/Wisconsin area,” said Sr. Events Coordinator Dan Johnson, who oversees both the bass and walleye circuits. “We’ll have three one-day qualifiers, each with a 50-boat limit and $10,000 first-place prize and 80 percent payback, and a two-day, 30-boat championship with a $20,000 first-place payout.”

Entry fees are $400 for qualifying tournaments and $600 for the championship. Details on the schedule, registration, sponsor contingencies and more will be announced shortly.
