Learn From The Legends

CITGO Bassmaster University 2006 was held in Toronto on February 18-19, 2006.  The event hosted by Bass Pro Shops included the following speakers: Denny Brauer, Woo Daves, Mark Davis, Ken Cook, Rich Tauber and Rocky Crawford!

Bassmaster University is an intensive program that gives anglers of all abilities and skill levels proven bass-catching knowledge.  It's a crash course in how to fish like the pros.

The Saturday and Sunday consisted of 12 different one-hour workshop sessions, instructed by six top pros.  These in-depth sessions cover virtually every bass fishing technique in existence including new cutting-edge techniques.  Each pro teaches his specialty.  As a result, you learn from the best of the best.  Time was allotted for visitation and interaction with the pros.
