Wetinaline is a heck of a riverbasser and a heck of a guy. He’s the type of guy who would give you the shirt off his back if he thought it would help you catch more fish.

A recent example is when he loaned Lowhybred a 4 inch Spro swimbait to use during the Columbus, Georgia stop of the RiverBassin’ Tournament Trail. Wetinaline couldn’t fish the tournament that weekend and he told Lowhybred to win it and that’s what Lowhybred did!

That says a lot about Wetinaline. Most people keep those pricey $20 swimbaits in their own tackle boxes, too afraid to use them for fear of losing them themselves. Not Wetinaline! Not many people would loan a pricey $20 swimbait to a friend.

That shows his enthusiasm for the sport and his willingness to help anyone. His enthusiasm and helpfulness rivals anyone. Always grinning from ear to ear, his enthusiasm shows in his fishing reports as they are always full of pictures and full of excitement. A great person to have as apart of the RiverBassin’ community!

Congratulations to Wetinaline for being July’s River Basser of the Month!

Quote from a RiverBassin’ member that sums it up:

. . . he’s just a great friend to have!

“The River Basser of the Month should share the same enthusiasm, passion, stewardship and kindness that we like to promote here on RiverBassin.com”…well, that describes Catawba! I met Mike at the NC rodeo last year and saw him again  at the SC rodeo, and one thing is for sure…Catawba loves to be around fishing. Continue Reading

Congratulations to Connecticut’s “Bassnut,” as she has been chosen River Basser of the Month for July.  Bassnut was chosen for her unique fishing style and creative way of catching river bass and documenting it!   She recently purchased a hat cam and put together a couple nice videos for the river bassin community on the forums.  Click here to watch hat-cam video #1. One thing that makes this sport unique is the numerous kinds of rivers in the world and the numerous ways we choose to fish them.  Bassnut represents this perfectly by her unique attitude and passion for the sport.  Oh, and she can fish too!  Congrats BN!

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 RiverBassin.com hat (as soon as we get some new ones in) and get 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,
