BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Following the Bassmaster Elite Series’ previous three events, where more than 10 million viewers got hooked on fishing during 12 days of real-time coverage, ESPN2 will televise more on-the-water action from the smallmouth powerhouse of Lake St. Clair.
Complementing the award-winning Bassmaster LIVE coverage on Bassmaster.com and ESPN3 that fans are familiar with during an Elite Series event, viewers can catch exciting on-the-water action from the 2020 YETI Bassmaster Elite at Lake St. Clair Aug. 20-23 on ESPN2.
Additionally, the anglers are making use of their time on-screen to explain the sport as well as offer tips and techniques to help fans of all levels improve their fishing.
“I want our broadcasts to be entertaining and educational for anglers of all levels whether it’s the first or 100th event they have watched,” said Elite Series pro Brandon Palaniuk, who came from behind on Championship Sunday to win the recent Bassmaster Elite at Lake Champlain. “That’s why I do my best to explain what I’m seeing out there in the moment.”
This will mark the eighth time B.A.S.S. has brought a major event to St. Clair since 1994, which finished No. 4 on Bassmaster Magazine’s recently released Best Bass Lakes of the Decade list. In the most recent derby — the 2019 Toyota Bassmaster Angler of the Year Championship — Minnesota pro Seth Feider had a massive three-day, 15 fish total weight of 77 pounds, 15 ounces.
