Imagine hooking onto and landing a seven or eight pound bass this weekend and having to wait around until late Sunday afternoon to see if it’s big enough to pocket the top prize for the springtime Big Bass Bash Tournament at Lake of the Ozarks…!
“We’re talking about thousands of people fishing that event and they’re winning, I think $100,000 and they’re giving away a boat.”
Jack Uxa, lake area fishing guide and owner-operator of the now Lake of the Ozarks “Fish Intel”…formerly Bassing Bob’s website.
Over $340,000 in payouts are guaranteed for the event including the 100-K for first place…20,000 for second place…10,000 for third…and 5,000 for fourth-place.
Amateur-only anglers will hit the water between 6:30-3:00 on Saturday and Sunday.
All who enter will also have a chance to go home with the $45,000 Phoenix Bass Boat being given away.
