Pursuit Channel, a premier network for hunting, fishing, shooting, and outdoor lifestyle programming, today proudly spotlights one of its most enduring and beloved series: Bass Pro Shops Fisherman's Handbook.
Now airing on Pursuit for over 11 years, Bass Pro Shops Fisherman's Handbook remains a weekly cornerstone for anglers nationwide. Hosted by Wade Middleton who welcomes a rotating lineup of top professional anglers, guides, and Bass Pro Shops experts, the show delivers timeless, practical, and immediately applicable bass-fishing knowledge that viewers can take straight to the water.
Each episode focuses on proven techniques, seasonal patterns, gear selection, and location strategies that catch bass in every region and condition — from deep summer structure fishing in the South to early-spring pre-spawn action in the Midwest, fall feedbags in the North, and winter jigging in clear reservoirs.
The series covers:
- Crankbait tuning and depth control
- Topwater walking, popping, and skipping
- Flipping & pitching heavy cover
- Dropshot, shaky head, and finesse tactics
- Electronics mastery (sonar, side imaging, live scope)
- Seasonal transitions and pattern recognition
Backed by Bass Pro Shops' decades of expertise and product innovation, Fisherman's Handbook is the trusted go-to resource for anglers who want to catch more fish, no matter where or when they fish.
"Bass Pro Shops Fisherman's Handbook is the gold standard for educational bass fishing television," said Rusty Faulk, CEO of Pursuit Media. "It's been a viewer favorite for years because it delivers real, usable knowledge from the best in the business. Pursuit Channel is honored to keep this iconic series front and center each and every week."
"Whether you're a weekend warrior or a tournament angler, my goal is simple: give you the tools and confidence to catch more fish while always having fun," said the Bass Pro Shops Fisherman's Handbook Host, Wade Middleton. "We're grateful to the diverse Pursuit platforms for helping us reach millions of anglers who share our passion and like to have fun on the water."
