Big Bass Event for Amateur Anglers with 5 weigh in
locations across The Lake.. IT COULD BE YOUR CHANCE TO CATCH THE BASS OF A
LIFETIME!
The Big Bass Bash is a bass tournament designed for amateurs only. Its unique
format allows the weekend angler a chance to win big money like the
professionals. Unlike most fishing tournaments which have a team arrangement
where prizes are based on total weight, the Big Bass Bash format is distinctive
in that it only takes one fisherman just one big bass to win.
Anglers can launch from anywhere on Lake of the Ozarks. The Big Bass Bash will have four weigh-in stations to accommodate the anglers: PB2 (Grand Glaize State Park), Red Oak Resort, Alhonna Resort, & Point Randall Resort.
