Bass Angler Magazine Super 60 Pro Tour Anglers joined the Simpson University Bass Fishing Team for a day of growth as anglers in the industry! Joined by Pros Mark Pilgrim, Jake Arbuckle, and Scott Stanfield, these anglers donated their time and boats to help better our team and the West Coast Representation it provides.

Kaiden Dinning beat the team today, catching 13.75 pounds for his best three fish!

Scott Stanfield provided extensive knowledge of our local bodies of water and has donated two weekends in a row to help improve the anglers on the team.

Jake Arbuckle explained the importance of trailer and vehicle maintenance and how critical it is to prepare properly for long-distance travel. Key points were to know the life of your tires, feel the hubs at every stop, and have your travel plan before you hit the road to avoid preventable mistakes.

Mark Pilgrim finished off the talking points with key partnerships strategies and how to be the best promoter and industry spokesperson possible. Driving the importance of relationships, connections, and developing long-lasting partnerships. Mark also explained the differences between endemic & non-endemic partners. Jake and Scott wrapped up the topic by explaining marketing budgets, tax write-offs, and starting with connections close to you.



Our anglers travel to Kentucky Lake in less than 10 days for the ACA Big Bass Bash! Thanks to our partners, the university, and anglers like these pros, we are excited to start the season with limitless potential!
