Champions Tour Taps Paul Neumann to be Tournament Director<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Continued Growth and Excitement for Upcoming Champions Tour Season<\/p>\n

The Champions Tour is pleased to announce that the veteran tournament angler Paul Neumann will serve as the Champions Tour Tournament Director beginning with the upcoming 2019 Champions Tour season.<\/p>\n

Paul Neumann took a step back from the Minnesota tournament bass fishing scene for a handful of years, to focus on his farming business and spend time with his young family. As his kids have grown, and gotten into the sport of fishing and his farming business is up and running, Neumann is poised and excited to once again be involved in the sport that brought him much joy, success and friendships earlier in his life.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis sport has evolved so much over the years, but the aspect that I love the most is the opportunity to compete at the highest level, and develop lifelong friendships with your fellow competitors,\u201d stated Neumann. \u201cThis will be quite the role reversal for me as I\u2019m used to bumping trolling motors with many of the anglers!\u201d<\/p>\n

In his role, Paul will be tasked with ensuring all rules of the Champions Tour are explained, followed and enforced throughout the 2019 Champions Tour season by all competing anglers. Neumann is no stranger to the Champions Tour as he was involved with the tour during the 2018 season.<\/p>\n

The Champions Tour aims at providing bass fisherman with beneficial and current bass fishing information regarding the tournament, which can be followed along real time via ClassicBass.com and on social media. \u201cThe Champions Tour has raised the bar not only in competitive fishing, but in stewardship, mentor-ship and community involvement as well,\u201d explained Neumann. \u201cI\u2019m extremely proud to part of this and I\u2019m looking forward to an amazing year of the Champions Tour.\u201d<\/p>\n

Along with serving as he tournament director, it is likely you\u2019ll see and hear Paul breaking down the events as they unfold on the water. \u201cWe\u2019re very excited to have Paul serving as our tournament director beginning this season,\u201d said Scott Bonnema, Owner of the Champions Tour. \u201cNot only is he a dedicated individual to anything he pursues, but he is extremely knowledgeable about competitive bass fishing, so his insight will allow our viewers to get a detailed perspective of what is going on throughout each of our Champions Tour events this season.\u201d<\/p>\n
