Joe Thomas, professional bass angler and creator of Ultimate Match Fishing, an original Outdoor Channel television series, has announced the establishment of the Ultimate Match Fishing Federation in partnership with Outdoor Channel which will qualify two amateur anglers to participate on television during the 2010 season of Ultimate Match Fishing for a opportunity to win $50,000.
The UMF Federation allows members to fish one-on-one using the same format as the television series. Matches will then be certified, and the two members with the best record and power ranking at the end of the UMF Federation season will then fish against each other for a chance to compete against the top professional anglers in the world on Outdoor Channel.
We are truly creating a new way for anglers to compete on the water, according to UMF Federation creator Joe Thomas. This is the chance of a lifetime for amateur bass anglers who have dreamed of fishing head-to-head against some of the top names in the sport and potentially walk away with $50,000 dollars.
The UMF Federation is web based and open to all individuals age 16 years and older. Bass clubs can join regardless of their current affiliation. Access to the website can be found at www.outdoorchannel.com/umf. Simply click on the Join the Federation link for more details.
