"Evinrude was one of the founding Operation Bass sponsors
dating back
to 1980. Their commitment to sport fishing and anglers has been
consistent and professional for decades. With the strong support
of
Bombardier, we look forward to sharing a long-lasting relationship

the nation, Wal-Mart stores in select
locations will partner to host these fishing derbies and will
serve as a
pre-registration site prior to the events.
"In this our fifteenth
year, we are pleased to have such an outstanding
group of sponsors for our program," said Gordon Holland,
HOFI spokesman. "The corporate sponsors are helping to provide
a fishing experience we're sure the youngsters will remember
for a life time."
The philosophy of the Kids
All-American Fishing Derby is to introduce all
youngsters and their families to an appreciation and respect
for the
environment, through conservation methods encouraged by means
of hands-on participation in the outdoors and the sport of fishing.
