Bass Fishing Lore and History.

Today Gotstafish held a contest. He asked a question and the person with the correct answer won a prize. The question he is asked was what year did the first issue of Bassmasters get released. Well that got me thinking and I decided to dig that issue out of my collection and scan it for you all who may interested in seeing it.
This is one of the most prized magazines in my fishing magazine collection, second only to the magazines with my buddy Bryan Kerchal in them.

With a read of that page, I'd definitely say that BASS has achieved its goals. :clap:
I hope you have enjoyed this little peak into our beloved sports history

Thats pretty cool Jared. Take good care of it. You might need it for retirement. LOL
You are correct, 1 yr was $10, 2 yrs $ 18.50 and 3 for $25. The magazine had 6 issues bimonthly. I tried to sell my Bassmaster magazines last year on E bay, very little response and ended up giving the years 1975 to 2005 away and kept the originals up to 1974. I was moving and no place to store them. BASS life member since '69.LakeCityYankee said:believe it or not it was 10 dollars for a year and 25 for 3 years.
