“On the heels of the 2013 Bassmaster Classic, we are very excited for the opportunity to bring The Bass University program to the greater Tulsa area” said Mike Iaconelli, The Bass University Co-founder. “The Tulsa, Oklahoma area has always been a hot bed of the bass fishing community. I couldn’t think of a better place to bring some of the world’s best bass pros in an up close and personal teaching environment.”
“The Tulsa Sports Commission is honored Tulsa, Okla. was selected as the 2014 destination for The Bass University,” said Vince Trinidad, Tulsa Sports Commission, executive director. “With the success of the Bassmaster Classic and our extensive lake system for fishing, the community is a natural destination, whether it’s for education, competition or recreation.”
Information is POWER in the sport of fishing! The Bass University offers students unparalleled access to championship information and strategies. Each day there is a hands-on break out session with the pros as well as a question and answer round-table discussion, both of which are designed to provide the most information to Bass University students. Saturday includes a dinner with the pros contest and on Sunday all of the youth anglers are invited to have pizza with the pros. Classes run from 8am to 5pm on both Saturday and Sunday.
For 2014, The Bass University is creating an all new stellar line-up of speakers with the latest topics to focus on the geographical location of each class with emphasis on patterns and techniques that are winning on the professional tournament trails. The Bass University’s instructors feature many of the greatest professional anglers in the world!
New to this year, The Bass University’s On-Water Training trips are customized to fit each student’s needs. Beginner to advanced, Bass University’s instructors will work with each student angler prior to the trip to develop a program that is designed to move their fishing knowledge and skill-set to the next level. On-Water Training instructors will contact their students prior to the trip to develop a custom training strategy. The instructors will focus on the lessons and techniques that will drastically improve their student’s fishing skills and knowledge! Following each training day, a practice program will be developed for each student to work on and continue to develop as an angler. Each student will have access to their instructor following the trip to ask questions as they continue their training. On-Water Training is the best and fastest way to develop good angling skills that last a lifetime!
