When B.A.S.S. revealed their stops for the 2018 tour, I was interested in the Texas Bass Fest being held on Lake Travis.  Even though I live in California, I have a sister who lives outside of Austin and since I enjoyed being a marshal in the past, I thought doing the fish weighing for this catch & immediate release event would be a great experience.  There wasn't any way to sign up like with the marshal program, so I did a little research, found out who was in charge of the judges and contacted him a few months ago.  After a series of emails back & forth, I was confirmed as a judge for the first 2 days of the tournament.  I'm looking forward to it, I think it will be a lot of fun.

 

This evening, I received an email from the judge coordinator.  They are a few judges short for the first two days and are asking for any referrals of people who may be interested in judging.  I immediately thought the most committed bass anglers I know of are here on Bass Resource, so I figured I'd make the information available.  You would need to be available next Wednesday the 16th for training (1/2 day) and the 17th & 18th for judging (full day).  It is a pretty unique experience, not only as a chance to meet & learn from Elite pros for a few days with a front row seat to the action, but also to be an integral part of a major tournament.

 

If you are interested & available, shoot me a PM and I will get you the contact info for the judge coordinator.  WRB, I know you are retired, maybe they will put you on Aarons boat if you join us ?

Awesome opportunity! ?
