BASS Tournaments
It's called the "Elite" for a reason. The 110 men who fish the Bassmaster Elite Series are the best of the best. They've proven themselves, paid their dues and earned the right to test their skills against the best the sport has to offer.

The complete roster of the 110 anglers who will be fishing the 2008 Bassmaster Elite Series has now been finalized with the inclusion of the final 10 competitors who earned their places through the Wild Card tournament on Lake Okeechobee, Nov. 29-Dec. 1.

The Elite 110 will vie for more than $7.5 million in cash through 11 Elite Series events. Among them, these anglers have earned 17 Angler of the Year titles, 14 Bassmaster Classic crowns and almost 200 BASS victories.

The season will kick off in less than three months with the March 6-9, 2008 Sunshine Showdown on Florida's Harris Chain of Lakes. In 2008, Elite anglers will fish each day of all BASS events out of their own branded boats.

The Elite Series events will determine one of the most prestigious awards in bass fishing, the Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year, which will award a total prize purse worth $1 million in 2008, including a $250,000 grand prize.
