Hi All,
It looks like another tournament season is quickly coming to an end and we are about to launch into year- end championships. It is always exciting to see who comes out on top at the TOCs. Good luck to those of you that have qualified.
As the year draws to a close, we would like to thank all of our site sponsors that continue to bring the WesternBass site and magazine to all of our readers. One of our title sponsors Fisherman’s Warehouse has expanded tackle offerings this year and added a new SALE section to the online store. Many of the new releases from ICAST will be available soon at the Fisherman’s Warehouse retail stores as well as online. We have featured the newest in innovation from our sponsors on the site recently and ask you all to take a look at what’s coming down the line.

Before I sign off for this issue, I want to pay my regards to one of the first superstars of the sport of bass fishing – Dee Thomas. I’ve known Dee since the ‘70s and am proud to feature him on the cover one last time in a tribute to his legendary life, career, and contributions to our sport.
