The home of World Championship Fishing
 
Introduction

The WCF North Bay Bass Challenge is a 13-week television series involving 50 competitors along with the WCF characters and staff. To the competitors, this at first may seem like just another fishing tournament but in fact it’s far from it. It’s the chance at being a character in a fishing show / game show / reality show, all in one package. 13 repeated weeks of North American television exposure is what most anglers dream of but the WCF will definitely make it come true!

The best part of all though is that being a professional tournament angler may not necessarily be what it takes to get in! Indeed the entrants will need good fishing skills but what the WCF is looking for first and foremost, is great, on camera personalities. The more our competitors can compel or grab the viewing audience, the better. Fishing almost becomes secondary.

It’s the opportunity of a lifetime. Not only do the combatants get a chance at $50,000.00 and fantastic exposure, the WCF gets a chance to change the look of television… hope to see you there!
