Dovetail Games, developer and publisher of authentic sports simulation titles, today revealed the 10 playable professional anglers coming to Bassmaster® Fishing 2022, the Official Game of B.A.S.S.®.

With authenticity being at the core of Bassmaster® Fishing 2022 the development team has spent considerable effort in bringing the real-life anglers to the virtual world, accurately recreating them with in-game models capturing everything including their hair, facial features, and body shape. And just like in real life, each of the playable anglers will have access to a selection of equipment from real-world sponsors for maximum immersion. In addition to the roster of professional anglers, players can create their own custom angler to challenge the pros in the hopes of becoming the next Bassmaster Classic Champion!
