Mark Lassagne – Bass Angler
I'm Mark Lassagne. For more than 30 years, bass fishing has shaped my life. Today, I'm building a stronger future for the anglers who call the West home.
I'm a lifelong competitor, publisher, and business owner based in Northern California. From early mornings on the Delta to competing on the biggest stages in western bass fishing, I've spent decades learning the water and the people who make this sport special.
As publisher of Bass Angler Magazine and founder of the BAM Tournament Trail, I now use that experience to tell anglers' stories, create opportunities, and raise the bar for professional fishing in the West.
My Marine Corps service shaped how I approach everything: work hard, lead from the front, and finish what you start.

The goal is bigger than a trophy. I want anglers to have a real path from local events to professional competition, sponsors to see meaningful value, and young fishermen to have a future in this sport.
That's what we're building through BAM—and I'm just getting started.
