….Congrats all around to “ML” from Alabama (or Matthew to his parents), for being selected as the River Basser of the Month for February 2010!  Most of us have spent the last few weeks pining away for spring, Matt has been out there floating the Alabama rivers and showing all of us with snow on our porches just what we’ve been missing!  You’ve got to be impressed by that kind of dedication, and if you’re not then hop on over to the Alabama forum and take a look at his pictures and those sure will!  Matt also doesn’t mind sharing his stories in the forum.  It’s this kind of dedication to the sport and willingness to help out that have made Matt our newest Basser of the Month

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.

Congratulations to Lance “RedHeron” Coley, who is RiverBassin.com’s basser of the months for January 2009. Lance is originally from Mississippi but finds himself fishing in rivers all over the southeast thanks to his job which keeps him on the move.

Red Heron’s favorite fish is the smallmouth bass and he has caught enough species to make a sound choice. He is one of the few guys in the world that can claim they have caught all seven species of black bass. That is quite an accomplishment Lance so congratulations on that, being named RiverBassin.com’s Basser of the Month for February and your recent marriage!
