You always know when you are watching a big time title fight when ring announcer Michael Buffer tells the crowd, “Let’s Get Ready To Rumble”. The same goes for fishing tournaments in the panhandle. Fact is, it just isn’t a tournament unless “Big” Jon Hill is on the mic emceeing the event. With a voice of polished brass and a presence that is synonymous with top-notch fishing tournaments, Reelpro, Inc. is honored to have the man himself as master of ceremonies.
With the experience and charisma Jon possesses, there is no doubt this is going to be one exciting weigh-in!
