If you would like to nominate one of your friends to be Basser of the Month, simply complete this short form telling us why you feel they deserve it. Catching big fish or large numbers of fish is not the criteria we base our decisions on nor the reason to nominate someone. The River Basser of the Month should share the same enthusiasm, passion, stewardship and kindness that we like to promote here on RiverBassin.com. If they have these qualities and demonstrated it in a unique way then let us know about it and they may be the next River Basser of the Month!
For being nominated and chosen as Basser of the Month, the winner will receive a RiverBassin.com hat and get a special parking space at the front of the store, I mean, site, for the remainder of the month. This is just a way to give back and show the members here a little appreciation because they are the ones who make this site what it is.
