BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Bassmaster Elite
Series pro Gerald Swindle is known among fellow pros and fishing enthusiasts as
a comedic genius. Fans at each of the eight Elite Series stops of the season
await his appearance on stage, eager to watch his daily weigh-in to hear his
humorous remarks after a day on the water.
Now B.A.S.S. offers one fan a front row seat in the Alabama pro's boat through
the "Fish With G-Man" sweepstakes.
"You never know what's going to happen when you go out on the water, but
one thing I do know is that the winner of this contest is in for a good
time," Swindle said.
A lucky fan will have the opportunity to spend a day fishing with Swindle at
the conclusion of the sweepstakes currently underway on Bassmaster.com. The
winner should prepare to be entertained, and the 2004 Toyota Bassmaster Angler
of the Year will have helpful suggestions, too. The Bassmaster fan on Swindle's
boat will have ample opportunity to learn "junk fishing" techniques,
one of Swindle's specialties on a fishery when the going is tough.
"If you're ready for some Junk Fishing 101, class will be in session on
this trip," Swindle said. "We'll throw everything at those bass until
we catch 'em."
Along with the education and entertainment, the prize includes a fishing trip
with Swindle, a two-night hotel stay, round-trip airfare, a rental car and $500
cash. In a prize package valued at $10,000, the winner also will receive nearly
$6,000 in prizes, including a Humminbird 898i HD SI,
a GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition, nearly $2,000 in
Swindle's favorite gear, a set of four ATX wheels from Wheel Pros and a custom
Simms jacket from Mercury Marine.
According to B.A.S.S. Membership Director Mitch Frank, "Gerald is a 13-time
Bassmaster Classic qualifier and an impressive talent at bass fishing's highest
level. The G-Man Sweepstakes gives a chance for someone to enjoy a day on the
water with a professional of that caliber. That will be a great
experience."
The contest runs through Sept. 19, and the winner will be selected on Sept. 30.
