Bassmaster Editor Talks Fantasy Fishing On WeFishASA Podcast
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — On the latest episode of the WeFishASA podcast, Bassmaster VP of Digital Jim Sexton gets you ready for the 2021 season of Rapala Bassmaster Fantasy Fishing. During the interview with host Dave Kranz, Sexton covers the basics of playing Fantasy Fishing, strategies for choosing the best team — including his personal tips — and how players can win part of $90,000 in prizes. Plus, learn the one factor this veteran recommends players not rely on too heavily when choosing their five-angler fantasy team.
“This year, Fantasy Fishing gets even better, with expert advice during Bassmaster LIVE, which airs on FS1, FOX Sports digital platforms and Bassmaster.com,” said Sexton. “The game is easy, it’s free and there’s a deep pool of prizes, thanks to our partnership with Rapala. There are 20 winners for every tournament and a grand prize winner for the full season.”
In 2020, Fantasy Fishing provided almost 37,500 engaged fans with a competitive platform to test their knowledge of professional fishing and prognostication skills to win Rapala gear packages, gift cards and more.
According to Sexton, playing Fantasy Fishing also has benefits on the water. “One of the great side benefits of Fantasy Fishing is that it helps you become a better angler by providing players with a vehicle to see which angler and techniques have the winning edge.”
The Elite Series season starts Feb. 11 in Palatka, Fla., with the AFTCO Bassmaster Elite at the St. Johns River.
Registration for the 2021 competition, along with full rules and a description of each prize package, can be found at Bassmaster.com/fantasy.
