Montreal, QC (EMWPresswire) August 14, 2008 — WFN: World Fishing Network and BountyFishing.com will join forces to offer anglers an Online Smallmouth Bass Fishing Tournament at BountyFishing.com from August 25-31, 2008.

The top prize will go to the angler who catches the largest Smallmouth Bass. As with all BountyFishing.com tournaments, the winner will be determined using licensed digital forensics software used by the FBI and CIA, along with BountyFishing.com’s patent-pending technology for validating measurements.
