College Anglers Grateful for BoatUS ANGLER
June
4, 2012 - As a Construction Management major at Georgia Southern University,
Tanner Parker has made a study of tensional stress and load factors.
However, a high-speed collision with a piece of floating debris shortly
after takeoff at the 2012 BoatUS Collegiate Bass Fishing Championship
on Pickwick Lake introduced a load of stressful tension the 21-year-old
never could have expected.
“The boat behind me saw the whole thing, and they said my boat
did a 360 when I hit whatever it was that I hit,” said Parker,
grateful to be unhurt, and coincidentally, he happened to be fishing
alone that day, saving a partner from the possibility of injury too.
“As soon as I realized I wasn't hurt, I dialed TowBoatUS Captain
Shane O'Neal who I had met the night before while signing up for a
membership,” explained Parker. “My hope was to get off
the water quickly, fix was what was broken, and get back out there
fishing,” said a determined Parker.
“TowBoatUS got me off the water very quickly, and was able to
make trips to three different marine dealers, one of which was an
hour-and-a-half away, but I eventually realized I didn't have the
time to get back out there and fish the ledges that day,” lamented
Parker, who made it a point to thank BoatUS ANGLER and Pure
Fishing for the support they give collegiate anglers.
Tanner Parker wasn't the only angler to sing the praises of an affordable
membership to BoatUS ANGLER following the Collegiate Bass
Fishing Championship.
University of Texas angler Kyle Marek found himself broke-down at
the extreme opposite end of Pickwick from the launch ramp. In fact,
it took 45-minutes for TowBoatUS to hurriedly make the long run to
get him, and over 2 hours to pull Marek back to the launch ramp. Still
he couldn't have been more grateful. Marek told BoatUS ANGLER
Brand Manager Steve Levi, “BoatUS ANGLER's towing service
is the greatest thing ever. If I could buy a lifetime membership,
I would.”
2012
BoatUS Collegiate Bass Fishing Champions Ben Dziwulski and Ethan Cox
of North Carolina State University didn't need a tow, but they did
haul home a $1,000 Weigh-to-Win bonus check from BoatUS ANGLER
as a result of their membership.
You don't have to be a college student to benefit from an affordable
membership to BoatUS ANGLER. Simply said, it pays to buy
a highly affordable BoatUS ANGLER membership regardless of
what B.A.S.S., FLW, LBAA, Collegiate Bass or PAA events you compete
in, especially when you're registered for the Weigh-to-Win cash tournament
bonus program, and that's why hundreds of anglers signed up last year.
