Lake Quivira,
Kan - B.A.S.S. Elite Series Angler Brent Chapman is putting together a new show
that will face him head to head with anglers around the country. Angler's who
think they have what it takes to fish against the 2012 Elite Series Angler of
the Year can submit their challenge via Chapman's website at
BrentChapmanFishing.com.
The show will put the challenger in Chapman's boat for a four to six hour
head to head competition on the challenger's home body of water. Chapman's
always loved talking fishing and learning new water, "It's going to be a
real challenge taking on anglers from California to New York, Michigan to South
Texas, on their home water. I look forward to seeing a bunch of new bodies of
water and meeting grass-roots anglers from all over. I imagine I will learn a
lot, that's the great thing about fishing - you can never know everything. I
also think I will be able to share my experience and knowledge with the
challengers. If it goes as planned we should both end the day better fisherman."
Chapman said he's been working on the
show concept for several years now, "I've always wanted to have a show.
Having a friendly competition with grassroots level anglers is something that I
think a lot of viewers will relate to. Currently we are working on several
different ways of distribution of the show. Right now we aren't ready to
announce where it will air. One things for sure, it's
going to be pure reality TV. I'm hoping we don't end up with shows where no
fish are caught, but if that's what happens then that's what we'll
show."
"We will be selecting 13 challengers in 2015 from all over the
country. We'll be filming most of the shows on off weeks between Elite Series
events. This year we'll be traveling from coast to coast which makes filming in
almost any state a possibility," said Chapman.
Challenges are open as of today and can be submitted at http://www.brentchapmanfishing.com/pro-vs-joe/.
Selections will be made throughout the year starting in the next few weeks and
continuing through early fall.
