Unified Pros, Inc. has announced Mark Davis as tournament director for their Ultimate Angler World Championship.
Davis will play a critical part in shaping what the organization is billing as "the first true world championship bass fishing tournament." He will oversee tournament operations, including rules officiation, organization, preparation and the execution of the event.
“Mark Davis is a bass fishing legend,” said Danny Groves, chairman of the board for Unified Pros. “The credibility, knowledge of the sport and integrity he brings to The Ultimate is an invaluable foundation that we will build on for years to come.”
Davis is one of only a few professional anglers to win the Bassmaster Classic and the B.A.S.S. Angler of the Year title in the same year (1995). He also took Angler of the Year honors in 1998 and 2001. Davis was inducted into the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame in 2019.
“The Ultimate World Championship is so unique,” said Davis, "because it encourages anglers to compete in their respective leagues, at multiple levels, in hopes of qualifying for this one awesome event.”
The Ultimate Angler World Championship will take place Oct. 5-11, 2025 on Lake Guntersville in Alabama. Anglers from college to the professional level can qualify through various sanctioned events.
