LOL so many people talking [censored]. Yall girls really need to get some business!

Smooth, organized. efficient, breakfast, ice, coffee, nice gift bag, plenty of raffle items, entertainment and all the "proceeds" go to conservation. Is there another tournament that pays 75k to 1st and 2nd place for a $900 entry fee and give you action @ $1m for a top 40 finish?

I've sat in longer lines waiting to launch and weigh in at a 150 boat BFLs for a chance to win $6k against local hammers for $250 with zero perks.

Yea, and to heck with Ray Roberts. In 3 days we caught white bass, a goo, a 15# buffalo carp (I thought we were gonna win when I set the hook) and 4 burners for 6.14.

The Triton's will be way out front, the rangers will be dragging behind a mile and the nitros wont start and wint leave marina

It was a very well ran event. Not to mention big bass paid the basses weight in pounds. Big bass was a 9 pounder, so 9,000 dollars.

I have listed to people say all kinds of things about this from its name to gift cards. Its pretty simple. This was the very biggest, best, well run tournament I have ever fished bar non and I have fished all the Texas circuits period. The pay out was great, big bass payout was great, period. The W 9 was for over 600 in winnings, just like TTT , Champs, etc. Yu guys need to lighten up, this was a awesome event to fish or just attend. I set a bar that may not be equaled in any tournament I ever fish the rest of my life. Thanks

They required anyone that placed to fill them out. I said this is only needed for winnings for over 600 a piece. They just didn’t understand. Bar none a great well run event. Not complaining one bit. The work they put into the weigh in was very impressive. We had a lot of struggles with receiving emails in the beginning. For example they were sending emails to my Baylor email I Havnt had access to for 10
Years. That was def not the one that was listed. Just prob had multiple databases etc and at sometime I had used that at bass pro in the past. Overall fantastic event, lake fished tougher than nails looking at results. Looking forward to the championship and my wife I looking forward to a trip to Branson lol

I saw no gift cards given as prize/ placing money. All checks made equally to both anglers. Cards we used for additional prizes such as big bass for family, veterans, kids. If you complain about this tournament then you are just looking for something to complain about. I'm guessing they had 50 plus employees working the event including bringing you your weigh bag to your boat. Thanks

That was very cool. Bassmaster Opens you get to hike up to the tanks and wait in line forever for a bag.

It was an awesome tournament. When you checked-in at a boat ramp, they gave you hot coffee, a breakfast burrito and the entire parking lot was lit up with huge plasma lights. People didn't even turn off their headlights when putting their boat in the water, it was so well lit. They also gave you a big tackle box with several trays, a nice wooden picture frame with the event details engraved on it. Weigh-in was epic too. If you didn't weigh fish, they automatically entered you in a drawing for a $500 BPS gift card.

There isn't a tournament held in Texas, including the Elites that was as nice as this tournament. Every single dollar goes to lake and waterway conservation. The prizes for all the tournaments were funded by BPS and Toyota, along with a number of smaller sponsors (Plano, Tervis and a few others). For everyone that is complaining about the tax forms, BPS has to do it due to their status. I couldn't believe how well this was run.

The only complaint was the take-off/blast-off. There were around 40 boats at Pond and seeing them all leave at the same time at 6:30 was reckless. There were boats going north, south and some that didn't know where they were going. Overall, the only improvement would have been to have people trickle out as they arrived to the boat launch with a first cast at 7 or a traditional blast-off.

Also, the competitors were some of the nicest people I've ever met. People were courteous at the boat ramp and there were workers helping people back in and pull out, keeping the ramps moving well on arrival and departure.

I was told they will be doing this annually and I'll always participate. It was first class.
