The Big Bass Tour

May 17, 2019 - May 19, 2019

TOURNAMENT DAY

 

On the day of the event each angler will receive a “first cast” text indicating it’s time to begin fishing. In addition, each angler will receive a text message from event staff prior to the start of the first hourly weigh in containing a link to our “Live Leaderboard.” The constantly-updated leaderboard provides real-time information on the top ten places for the current hour.

 

LAUNCH

 

Anglers may launch from any ramp they choose. There is no mandatory “host ramp.”

 

HOURLY WEIGH-INS

 

Each tournament day features seven hourly weigh-ins starting at 8:00am and ending at 3:00pm. Each hourly weigh-in awards cash payouts to the top ten biggest bass each hour as follows:

 

1ST:   $1000.00

2ND:  $500.00

3RD:  $300.00

4TH:  $250.00

5TH:  $225.00

6TH:  $200.00

7TH:  $175.00

8TH:  $150.00

9TH:  $125.00

10TH: $100.00

 

Guaranteed Hourly Payouts are $21,175 per day.

 

The hourly weigh-ins are held at the official “host site” identified in the “Event Details – Weigh in Site” on our website. Anglers are free to weigh their bass at any time during the designated hourly weigh-in, but you must be checked in at the fish care tanks ready to weigh-in before the end of the designated hourly weigh in. A digital “official time clock” will be on display at the fish care tanks. Anglers may travel to the weigh-in location by boat or may “trailer” back to the weigh-in location.

 

We offer courtesy weigh-in bags, although anglers may use their own weigh bag if they prefer. After placing your bass inside the weigh bag (be sure to fill with adequate water) simply bring your bass to the weigh-in line (look for the tents and fish-care tanks). BBT staff will ask you for your name and you will be called up to the weigh in stage by the tournament director to weigh your bass.

 

After weighing a fish, anglers are free to proceed immediately back to the lake to continue fishing after weighing their bass. No participant may have more than three bass (per participant) in his/her possession at any time during official event hours.
