“The tournament was run on time and professionally. U.S.A. Bassin allows me to fish lakes close to home and I get to fish with my son. I really like all the choices of tournaments to fish; it gives me a lot of flexibility. These tournaments also have a lot of high level competition.” -Demetrius Patton
