Kick’n Bass and great promotions!

What a great summer it has been for Hooters Bass Fishing! Competitively Hooters Bass Fishing has been on fire in 2009.  June and July have been full of victories and great promotions.  The beginning of June was the annual United Way Celebrity Bass Tournament.  HBF’s old buddy Fast Freddie from 93.3 The Wolf fm. and I smashed the scales with four pound largemouth again this year, we just couldn’t get that fifth cookie cutter four pound bass in the boat and had to settle for a respectable second.  Fred and I were overall champions last year and almost made a record setting consecutive back to back victory this year.  This annual event has raised well over $100,000.00 for the United Way since it began.  It’s great to have support from the Cleveland Browns and the Pittsburg Steelers and all the sponsors.  These are great people and a great cause.  Hooters Bass Fishing is honored to be a part of it.  Check out the cool links and photos of the event at;  http://news.steelers.com/article/105735/ from the Steelers website steelers.com.  Also http://www.wncd.com/cc-common/gallery/globalphotos.html , from 93.3 The Wolf fm.

Thank you to my brother Major Greg Wall from the U.S. Army.  Major Wall stepped in and stepped it up with HBF for a second place victory and big bass honors at Rocky Fork Lake in the USA BASSIN team Invitational.  Major Wall anchored the team with our biggest bass catch over four pounds!  It was great to get a chance to fish a tournament with my brother.  He left home to serve our country when he was eighteen.  Major Wall has completed three tours at war and getting ready to go again.  Always remember to thank those that protect our freedoms. Thanks Greg and all the soldiers this goes out to.  We love you, be careful and come home safe.

HBF has also complied three top ten finishes in the Ohio B.A.S.S. Federation State Invitationals including a record setting back to back victory at Lake Erie for myself and co-angler Brandon Estep (owner of Warrior Baits), HBF is well on our way to another top six state team berth and in strong contention for a possible angler of the year title for the state of Ohio.  HBF had a personal best 20.89lbs. of monster smallmouth, and Brandon took first place honors for the co-angler division with 4 fish weighing 13Lbs!  Congrats Brandon, HBF had blast fishing with you.  Congrats to all the OBFN anglers below who took home Hooters Gift Cards from the Lake Erie State Invitational!  Check out more HBF highlights at ohiobassfederationnation.com.

Thank you to The Springfield Entertainment Group that invited Hooters Bass Fishing to co host the 4th of July Veterans Celebration with fellow professional angler Sandra Rankin.  What an honor it was to host such a huge show and personally contribute and thank our veterans during the 4th of July.  Many people, bands, commissioners, the mayor, all branches of the military came out to the Springfield fair grounds for three days to thank and celebrate our veterans.  Military fly overs, music, rides, fireworks what a great time and an honor to host.  Great day to be an American!

Stay tuned, fish on!
