James Watson Launches Watson4Win Classic Contest

Nixa, Mo. – February 4, 2016 – Missouri pro James Watson, a 2016 Bassmaster Classic Qualifier, is giving fans the chance to win up to $100,000 in cash and prizes.

If Watson wins the 2016 Bassmaster Classic on Oklahoma’s Grand Lake o’ the Cherokees AND an entrant guesses his exact winning weight, that person will win up to $100,000 in cash and prizes, with one of the prizes being a fully loaded Ranger Boat.

“I’m excited to be fishing my first Bassmaster Classic,” said Watson. “To celebrate, I want to give the fans a chance to experience that excitement of the event – especially if I win.”

He has put together a group of his sponsors that will provide the prizes for his Watson4Win Contest. “I’ve teamed up with my great sponsors to give a lucky fan the chance to win $100,000 in cash and prizes,” he said. I feel this gives people out there who haven’t been able to experience the Bassmaster Classic a reason to be a fan; even if it is just for the weekend.”

Watson is known for his out of the box thinking and has created a name for himself on the professional circuit with his humor and his ability to catch fish. He qualified for his first Bassmaster Classic by winning the B.A.S.S. Central Open on Table Rock last fall.

Watson has a history on Grand Lake. The Grand River Dam Authority impoundment is only a few hours from his home lake of Table Rock, and as such, Watson is sure to be considered one of the favorites.

About the venue and the event, Watson said he is looking forward to it. “I love Grand Lake, and I love that my first Classic appearance will be on a lake that I am so familiar with,” he said. “But I also realize the difficulty in how it can fish in March and fishing against the greatest anglers in the world.

“There is no telling what the conditions will be. It could be cold and muddy with a chance of snow or if we get lucky, there could be a warming trend and that could bring the fish shallow. There are a lot of things that could happen, and when you put the best anglers in the world on it; we’ll just have to see what happens.”

“I wouldn’t have a chance to be in this tournament if it wasn’t for great partners,” he said. “And an extra special thanks to Ranger Boats and my other sponsors for supporting me, and stepping up for the fans with this contest.”
