…Congratulations to Louisiana’s Barret B. as he has been chosen River Basser of the Month for October.  Barret has been on the radar of the RiverBassin.com staff for a while with his numerous enthusiastic posts on both the Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida forums.  In the reports you will notice his energy for the sport and his unique, creative way of posting reports that are more than just fish, but scenery as well.  It really is all the other stuff besides the fish that makes river bassin unique and Barret is just one of those guys that just gets it.  If anyone has a question on the forums and Barret knows the answer you can bet he’ll chime in to help any fellow river basser out.  That’s just the kind of guy he is.  He also has demonstrated a sense of conservation and river stewardship by bringing a trash bag and cleaning up around river access points.  Again, he just gets what we’re all about and river bassin is proud to have another quality fisherman, outdoorsmen and just plain ol good guy on this site.

Aside from all of that he demonstrates how well rounded he is by fishing out of whatever it takes for that particular water – kayaks, jon-boat, flats boat, or even just wading the streams with his two feet!  He also gets out and catches some nice fish in the salt as well!  Congrats again Barret!

You too can nominate a friend to become the Basser of the Month by using this form. If chosen as Basser of the Month they will receive a special parking space at the front of the store, I mean, site, for the remainder of the month. Catching big fish or large numbers of fish is not the criteria we base our decisions on either. The River Basser of the Month should share the same enthusiasm, passion, stewardship and kindness that we like to promote here on RiverBassin.com.

Tight lines and smooth rapids,

RiverBassin.com staff
