Top 10 reasons to marry a bass pro

Reason #10: Quality time

Consider the average pro angler's schedule: breakfast at 4:30 a.m., takeoff at 6 a.m., a full day of fishing, weigh-in until 5:00 p.m., dinner at 5:30, tackle work from 6 to 8:30 pm, then early to bed. With a schedule like that you'll always know that 5:30 to 6:00 dinner is "our time".

Reason #9: No competition

He might be gazing at some young hottie near the weigh-in stage, but you know what he's thinking: "Hmmm, that water's really clearing up. Wonder if I can get away with just 30-pound-test on my flippin stick?"

Reason #8: The perks

Generous sponsors mean fabulous extras for you. Imagine never having to buy monofilament again. Ladies, it's like a dream come true.

Reason #7: Glamorous travel

Imagine, Cullman, Ala., one week, Jasper, Texas, the next. And if he makes the Classic, it's "Hello, Pittsburgh!"

The bachelor bassman always looks sharp - that's a given. But his wardrobe also has the exciting element of surprise: Will he be wearing the boat sponsor shirt, or the lure sponsor pullover? The anticipation is unbearable.

Reason #5: His vehicle

Tired of boyfriend after boyfriend with the eensy little sportscar? With your Bassin' Bachelor, you'll always arrive in style in the full size tow vehicle - usually draggin' the 21 foot fully rigged you-know-what behind.

Reason #4: Marriage-minded

Is your bassing bachelor a marriage-minded man? You bet he is. That is, of course, if he "makes the E-50's this year."

Reason #3: Dependable

If your Bass pro bachelor doesn't show up for a date, you need not worry that he's out carousing with his "buds." More likely, he stuck on a sandbar with a blown powerhead on his outboard motor.

Reason #2: The only fish in the sea

The Bassmaster Pro bachelor will not likely be seeing other women on the side. These guys, on average, get one date every 14 months!

Reason #1: His deep, soulful gaze
