B.A.S.S. is changing guard

PRO FISHING -- The Florida-based fishing tournament group founded 40 years ago as the Bass Angler Sportsman Society became known simply as as BASS purchased and reconfigured by ESPN in 2001. Last week, BASS was acquired by three businessmen who vow to make it "a friendly organization."

For now, the first thing youll notice is that BASS has been renamed B.A.S.S.

That's it, so far. Period.
