Wal-Mart Bass Fishing League Coming to Maysville

Here is the condensed press release:


MAYSVILLE, Ky. (July 10, 2007) – The Buckeye Division of the $8.8 million Wal-Mart Bass Fishing League will visit the Ohio River in Maysville, Ky., July 21 for the third of five regular-season events. As many as 200 boaters and 200 co-anglers are expected to compete in the tournament, which will award as much as $45,000 in cash, including a top award of $6,000 in the Boater Division.
If the winner is a participant in the Ranger Cup incentive program, he will receive a $1,000 bonus from Ranger Boats and $500 from Yamaha if his boat is powered by Yamaha. Ranger will award $500 to the highest-finishing Ranger Cup participant if not the winner, and Yamaha will kick in $250 if the boat is powered by Yamaha. Bombardier will award $1,000 to the winning boater if the winner’s boat is equipped with a qualifying Evinrude E-TEC or Direct Injection outboard.
