The inaugural year is behind the Lady Bass Anglers Association (LBAA) and it is now time for a new year, a new tournament schedule, signing returning sponsors, and introducing new sponsors.

The LBAA would like to welcome Legend Boats to the LBAA sponsor family. Legend Boats of Midway, Arkansas has came aboard by agreeing to sponsor the 2012 LBAA Legend Boats Big Bass Award, and by becoming one of the LBAA premier boater contingency plans for 201.

"We are excited to have Legend Boats come on board as the sponsor of the Big Bass Award for 2012. To have a partnership with such a quality organization is both and honor and a privilege and shows the value that Legend Boats has for anglers who fish the Lady Bass Anglers Association tournament trail,” stated LBAA Co-founder Cheryl Bowden recently.

Randy Qualls, President of Legend Boats, commented about Legend’s new partnership with the LBAA, "We couldn't be more pleased to be involved with the LBAA. With Kim Bain-Moore and Pam Martin-Wells, two of the nation’s top woman anglers on our team, our fit into the LBAA were natural. We're excited about their plans for 2012 and even more so about bringing Legend Boats to the forefront of those events with our Big Bass Award."
