The new affiliation brings together two organizations with a unifying theme of tournament bass fishing, and support of the membership, the fishermen. According to John Crews, President of the PAA, &ldquo;We are excited to implement partnerships such as this, as we feel it gives strength to both organizations, and as a result creates more opportunities for the anglers, which is important to the PAA.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The partnership paves the way for the 2010 Central Pro Am Angler of the Year, along with the Co-angler of the Year, who will each receive a guaranteed slot in the 2011 PAA Tournament Series. In addition to covering entry fees for the anglers, Central Pro Am will also be providing assistance with expenses, making this a truly inexpensive shot at becoming a touring pro in 2011. &ldquo;This could make a couple of our Central Pro Am&rsquo;s anglers lifelong dreams come true, just by fishing a season with us&hellip;two of our anglers will be competing against some of the best talent in the country in 2011,&rdquo; said Jim Thompson, owner of Central Pro Am.<\/p>\n<p>Two lucky Central Pro Am Anglers also have a chance to compete with touring PAA pros in the 2009 PAA Corporate Cup, to be held September 10-12 on Lake Pickwick in Florence, AL. This unique opportunity is part of a joint PAA\/CPAA membership drive. All members of Central Pro Am in good standing that join the PAA between June 1 and July 31, 2009 are registered for their chance to win this all expense paid trip courtesy of Central Pro Am.<\/p>\n<p>For more details on the Professional Anglers Association, the PAA Tournament Series, or the 2009 PAA Corporate Cup please visit <a target=\"_blank\" mce_href=\"http:\/\/www.fishpaa.com\/\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fishpaa.com\/\">www.fishpaa.com<\/a>.
