SHERMAN OAKS, Calif., Nov. 30, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fishhound
www.fishhound.com, the web's most comprehensive provider of real-time
fishing reports by professional anglers, licensed guides and charter
captains, announced that Jon Storm, formerly of BassFan, has joined
Fishhound as Content Director.

"Jon brings a wealth of industry knowledge and expertise from companies
that matter in our industry and we're excited to have him join our
team," said Fishhound CEO Richard Marks. "Our vision is not to
reproduce another BassFan. Our plan is to move the entire industry
forward by leveraging our local market presence to connect anglers with
brands, businesses and localized content."

Storm said: "I joined Fishhound because I recognized that the next
revolution in fishing media has arrived. For too many years, companies
have decided what type of content readers should want. The truth is,
readers and users should help determine the type of content they want,
and should have a strong hand in creating it. Fishhound made a
tremendous investment and created an elegant, seamless, accessible
media platform that incorporates thousands of real-time fishing
reports, user-uploaded photos, videos and community chatter, and now
I've been hired to spearhead an aggressive push into high-end,
micro-targeted content."

Storm added: "I joined the company not for the chance to reach tens of
thousands or even hundreds of thousands of anglers. I joined Fishhound
because it's truly the only media platform destined to reach millions
and even tens of millions of anglers here in North America and
worldwide."

Prior to Fishhound, Mr. Storm's 15-year career in the fishing industry
included a 7-year tenure as Editor-in-Chief of BassFan, preceded by
editorial positions at Bass West USA and North American Fisherman, as
well as Game Informer, now the 5th most circulated magazine in the
United States.
