The program lasts through the school year and offers numerous fishing related opportunities, rewards, product samples and prizes. 

"The program is designed to encourage more students to participate in fishing activities through high schools," says Roxanne Coleman, Senior Field Marketing Manager, Berkley Fishing. "Throughout the year clubs will be given a variety of team and individual challenges and the successful completion of those tasks will earn the club rewards and points for the team." 

2013 Bass Pro Shops Northern Open #3 Lake Erie: Ike Wins and Heads to 2014 Classic

BASS Press Release

SANDUSKY, Ohio — In his last best chance at qualifying for the 2014 Bassmaster Classic, Elite Series pro Mike Iaconelli capitalized in a big way as he sacked 24-9 today on Lake Erie, giving him a two-day total of 48-8, nearly four pounds better than runner-up and Erie ringer Joe Balog.
 “It’s not real, man, it’s not real,” Iaconelli said in disbelief of his first Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Open win. “When these moments happen, it’s magical. I remember all my wins from club tournaments to this one, and they’re all special.
 “It’s been a weird year. I had a bad year on the Elite trail, and I had a lot of downs, and I just kept my head in it and kept working and it turned around finally.”
