Nashville Post: Q&A: Brian Bird, World Bass Enterprises
Nashville Post sits down with WBE CEO Brian Bird to talk about launching The Champions, a three-day event on Old Hickory Lake where top anglers from MLF and Bassmaster compete for a $3.25 million purse. Bird explains the Super Bowl-of-bass idea, why Nashville and Sanders Ferry Park won out over Percy Priest, and that he is personally guaranteeing the payouts in year one. The piece also touches on the Gaylord Opryland expo, the Riley Green concert at The Pinnacle, and the festival atmosphere around the competition.
