"With fishing season winding down in several parts of the country, we're happy to help anglers stay involved with our exciting online game," said RBFF President and CEO Frank Peterson. "The next best thing to actually heading out on the water, Catch A Boat is ideal for anyone interested in the sport. It provides users the knowledge to be successful and gives them the opportunity to reel in great prizes from a wide range of industry partners."
