Bass Edge and Ditch Witch celebrate premiere

It was a night of celebration at the Ditch Witch world headquarters in Perry, Okla., as about 700 of its employees helped kick off the 2008 season of Bass Edge television. The Jan. 4, event was scheduled to coincide with the next morning’s debut of the season’s first episode.

Prizes were provided by sponsors for dozens of drawings, and several of the co-host pro anglers were on hand to sign autographs. The Ditch Witch wrapped boat, seen on Bass Edge, was on hand as was a large screen and televisions showing highlights from the 2008 season.

“This was a wonderful, fun-filled evening,” said Shan Kirtley, director of Sales and Marketing for Ditch Witch. “We had a great turnout and our employees loved getting to know (show host) Aaron Martin and the Bass Edge team.  This was an excellent way to kick-off our sponsorship.”

Martin spent much of the evening posing for photographs and signing autographs. He said afterward that it was the youngest of the youngsters that he most enjoyed.
 
“Ditch Witch was such a gracious host, and it was so nice to have the Bass Edge folks all in one place,” Martin said. “Seeing so many families together at the event reminded me what a great experience family fishing can be.”

Bass Edge is aired weekly on Saturdays at 7:30 a.m. EST on the Versus Network, and is repeated again at 10:30 a.m, Tuesday mornings. The show can also be seen on Canada’s WILD TV three times a week. More Bass Edge stories and information is available at: bassedge.com.
