BASS announced Thursday the field for the 2010 Bassmaster Elite Series. The field of 95 top anglers will visit 8 fisheries during the Elite Series regular season and will compete to advance to the Bassmaster Elite Series postseason.
The decorated field accounts for 15 Bassmaster Classic titles, 19 Bassmaster Angler of the Year trophies and more than 200 BASS victories. The Elite circuit will kick off in more than two months with the March 11-14 Duel in the Delta on the California Delta out of Stockton, Calif.
"Once again, the Elite Series, through its difficult set of qualifying standards, has produced a collection of the most talented anglers in the sport," said Jamie Wilkinson, BASS senior director of events and business development.
