There are more than 41.6 million anglers over the age of six in the United States, making it the third most popular outdoor activity in America today. More people fish than play golf or tennis. The Bassmaster Elite Series tournament expects to bring 30,000 people to the event and generate more than $2 million in economic impact for Sacramento. The ESPN Network and the Outdoor Channel both plan to broadcast portions of the tournament. Fans can also view a live stream at Bassmaster.com. Visit SacSports.com for more information.
