2016 BassMaster Opens
It will not be easy by any means, the top 5 for each division will be invited to fish the BassMasters Elite Series if they fish all 3 events in their series. It will take a lot of hard work and a little good luck. If you think you can make a splash, give it a try. Most of us out here in the real world can’t afford to dedicate the large amount of time and money it would take to get through the rigorous process to qualify for the BassMaster Elite Series and possible get an invite to the BassMaster Classic. For now we will keep on dreaming. We wish all the luck in the world to any and all who take on this monstrous task.
