You don’t need to be a rabid bass angler to play either. Anyone can play – including your non-angler spouse or partner, friends, family members or co-workers. And best yet – it’s free. There is no entry fee to play! You can play on your own, or you can form your own league to play against your friends, family members or co-workers.
And it’s super easy to play. After you register to play, just select five pro anglers for each Bassmaster Elite Series event and the Bassmaster Classic. The winner of each Fantasy Fishing tournament is determined based on the real-life, on-the-water performance of the five bass pro that you selected for your fantasy fishing team. Points are awarded based on each angler’s final standings at the end of each Elite Series event. The 2022 Bassmaster Elite Series field consists of 94 anglers, including 13 new anglers who qualified via the 2021 Bassmaster Opens as well as the B.A.S.S. Nation champion.
