MASSENA — Village officials say interest in Massena’s fishing tournaments is growing following the recent success of the Major League Pro Tournament.
The recently-held tourney in Massena drew dozens of professional bass fishermen to compete for a top prize of $100,000.
The event was held June 25 and while interest from local participation at the time was decent, Massena officials said that many businesses have called since the event was held.
Officials said that as the tournament was happening and people realized it was a “big deal” there were organizations and businesses that decided they wanted to be part of future events.
