About us…
Growing up on Long Island, the founders of Bassin’ USA had exposure to all types of fishing. Long Island provides access to both freshwater and saltwater fishing. Obtaining information related to fishing was limited to the advice of friends and the local tackle shop.
With the rise of the Internet, many fishing related Websites surfaced to expand the knowledgebase of the fishing community and make it available to the public. Although there are thousands of fishing Websites, most lack the infrastructure to support the growing population of registered fishermen, which has exceeded 34 million. Golf and tennis enthusiasts combined do not exceed the number of fishermen in America today.
In 1997, discussions began for the creation of a fishing related Website solely dedicated to freshwater Bass fishermen. After two long years of planning, the right people, and a lot of research, Bassin’ USA.com was launched.
With the vast complexities of an Internet driven market place, finding accurate and detailed information related to Bass fishing had become cumbersome at best. By integrating all facets of this $60 billion dollar industry, Bassin’ USA is building the world’s l[argest online Bass fishing resource and community to preserve and further the sport of Bass fishing.
Each year more and more people get online and inquire about this great sport of ours and the online knowledge base just keeps getting better. We are proud to be one of bass fishing’s internet pioneers.
Bassin’ USA delivers Internet driven bass fishing resources and services. Our staff provides a tremendous team understanding of the needs of the bass fishing community, gained from hands on experience in technology and the fishing industry.
Our company can be characterized as an interactive service provider, designed by fishermen, for fishermen.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT: “To provide every fisherman with easy access to detailed bass fishing resources anywhere in the United States of America.” |

A TRIBUTE TO THE LATE, GREAT, VIRGIL WARD
On September 13, 2004, the fishing world lost one of its greatest legends, Virgil Ward. He was 93 years old, and fished up until a couple of weeks before his death.
Virgil was a very religious, good, kind family man. He taught people many things, not just in fishing and the outdoors, but also in how a person should treat other people. The man you saw on television is the person you would meet – if you had ever been lucky enough to do so
He was a friend to many people, even to those who have never met him. This is evident in emails that have been received recently from fans whose lives he has touched throughout the years. One said, “God bless him and his family.....Please give my condolences to his family. He shaped millions of kids lives, he was a wonderful man.”
