July 7, 2025 – Michigan B.A.S.S. Nation Press Release

Michigan B.A.S.S. Nation is proud to officially announce a new partnership with Weighbook, naming them the Official HOT SEAT Partner for all MBN-Youth sanctioned events.

The HOT SEAT, a favorite feature at weigh-ins, where current leaders sit while watching their competitors take the stage. Now, with Weighbook’s support, this electrifying moment just got even more exciting for anglers and spectators alike.

Weighbook is an innovative digital tournament platform that streamlines the weigh-in process, enhances event visibility, and provides real-time scoring and data tracking for fishing tournaments. Their technology has revolutionized tournament management—and now, they’re bringing that same energy to the HOT SEAT experience across Michigan.

“Partnering with Weighbook is a game-changer for how we engage our audience and recognize our top-performing anglers during live events,” said Bret Straffon, President of Michigan B.A.S.S. Nation. “We’re excited for our family and friends that are unable to attend our weigh-in to leverage the Live Leaderboard technology that is available at Weighbook’s site during our tournaments.
