BassResource.com, the leader in bass fishing websites, announced today that legendary angler and TV host Hank Parker has joined forces with them, and will be providing how-to bass fishing articles in his new column, “Fishing Tips with Hank Parker.”

Hank has enjoyed a storied professional bass fishing and outdoor television host career that continues to grow each season. “Hank Parker's Outdoor Magazine” is among the most popular and longest running outdoor shows on television today and continues to entertain and educate viewers of all ages and skill levels. He is arguably one of the best in the business.

Hank's professional fishing career began in 1976, culminating in two Bassmaster Classic championships. He also was the first angler to win the Grand Slam of Bass Fishing, which included the Classic, B.A.S.S. Angler of the Year, and the B.A.S.S. SuperBass Tournament. Amazingly, Hank finished "in the money" in 76% of all the tournaments he fished during his B.A.S.S. career. In 2003, Hank was inducted into the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame. Then, in 2006 he was inducted into the Legends of the Outdoors Hall of Fame.

BassResource.com launched its first website in 1996 and over the past 15 years has continued to bring exclusive fishing articles, news, and videos to anglers around the world.  BassResource.com recently launched a completely redesigned website earlier this year, which serves as a valuable tool for enthusiasts who want to become better anglers. The website also houses the largest and most active bass fishing forums on the Internet.

“I am honored that BassResource.com has created a special section for my how-to fishing articles.” Parker said. “Being connected with one of bass fishing’s most popular websites is great. We are reaching more anglers than ever before. There will be fishing information in these articles that beginners and advanced anglers can use on the water which will improve their success.”

"We’re delighted to have Mr. Parker on board with us," said Glenn May, founder of BassResource.com. "His professional experience coupled with his immense knowledge of bass fishing is a perfect match for BassResource.com. He’s a terrific addition to our team. Not only that, but I’ve been a big fan of his for decades.  I’m honored he chose to work with us.”
