Here is the email I got.
Hi Dave -

My name is M.O. and I work with National Geographic Channel to promote the programs online. I typically work with online editors and bloggers to identify programs that are appropriate and interesting to respective sites, and provide program information such as press releases, photos, and embeddable videos.

I came upon your writings while looking for folks who might be interested in our upcoming program, Hooked on Bass, and wanted to reach out to you with some information to see if this program would appeal to you and your readers.

Below is a brief program description and broadcast time/date, as well as some embeddable videos.

The largemouth bass is more than just Americas most sought after freshwater fish. It fuels an entire culture of followers that pursue the bass at all levels for different reasons: weekend hobbyists, professional tournament anglers, and obsessed record hunters. Some fish to spend time with family and for relaxation, some for the challenge and the connection with nature, and others for the money and obsession. The pursuit of the bass has a $60 billion dollar effect on our economy by the 30 million bass anglers, a sport which has become the most popular outdoor activity in America. Three stories typify the culture of bassfishing, and happen on three different lakes across the country. In Texas, on Lake Sam Rayburn, weekend angler Rusty Clark fishes in one of the worlds largest amateur bassfishing tournaments. In New York, on Lake Oneida, Kevin Van Dam tries to secure his year-long quest to be the top professional in the sport. And in California, on Dixon Lake, three world record hunters obsessively hunt one fish that they believe to be the biggest bass of all time.
