As in previous years, this year’s winning team will receive a guaranteed $10,000!
This is a 2-person team tournament with an entry fee of $250 per team, which includes entry into the Big Bass pot for a cash prize of $2,500. Trailering will be allowed for anglers in this event but NO forward facing sonar FFS can be used.
All anglers are in for the full red carpet treatment and will certainly want to attend the weigh-in at Cypress Bend for door prizes, t-shirts, a gun raffle, silent auction and live auction.
The Earlier You Register The More Time You’ll Have To Get To Weigh-In
Registrations are now being accepted at fishoutlawoutdoors.com and there’s a pretty nice incentive to register as early as possible, as the earlier a team registers, the later their check in time will be.
Late registrations will be accepted on Friday, March 13 from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm at Cypress Bend, Saturday, March 14 from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm at Cypress Bend and again on Sunday, March 15 from 6:00 am until 7:00 am also at Cypress Bend, prior to fishing.
