It’s not a big deal because it’s such a small amount of money but I can assure you I’m not lying. I have a 250 dollar gift card that has written on it 33rd place. This tournament paid heavy up front which I think is awesome. It was just a surprise to a us and a few other teams that they weren’t checks but then when you think of it it’s genius from a business stand point. Again fantastic event and hope to be a part of it again.

This tourney truly felt is was for the Anglers and not something profit driven. I'm glad to have experienced it and am looking forward to fishing Table Rock. Now I have to go dig out my 8-10 lb test and fairy wands.

Find us a house too lol.

Anybody see results posted?

[/quote]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[/quote]

If you placed in the top 40, you won a prize and entry into the Championship. Rather than try to collect W9's at the Championship, it is easier to collect them 40 at a time at each qualifier. Then if your winnings in total after the Championship are $600 or greater, they are required to send you a 1099.

Congrats to them! Nice Job!

Super well ran event! Immaculate staffing on site. Organized from top to bottom! BPS hired my company to help with storage of the event last week! The logistics company they hired had left alot of the event stuff in the field ready for all the rain coming. They called us last minute and we helped them with a few storage units to get all of the BPS junk off the ground haha

Nah that makes too much sense!

Not Yet

I thought the tournament was great. Definitely interesting that we could trailer to any ramp but had to weigh in by boat. We went out of Buck Creek and it was a pretty safe shotgun start from there. One of the fastest well organized weigh ins I have been a part of. Overall I really appreciate when these boat manufactures put on cool owners tournaments whether its Bass Pro Skeeter or others. I am glad Table Rock doesn't have as many trees, I sure hit a bunch of them at Ray Roberts. Awesome lake though.

How many used Buck? You guys used a lot of gas! Table rock has many trees, but they are in 80 FOW.

You only got a $250 gift card for 33rd? Or a card plus cash

Gift card only. I think 20-40th received gift cards. I know our friends that placed a little bit better than us got gift cards as well- no check. May have just been the last 10 paying spots or 12 but I think it might have been 20-40th but not certain on that. Just thankful to qualify will be cool to say you fished for a million bucks one day.

Ya that's pretty cool. They were super nice about giving out a refund to us due to prior obligations on Sunday. Well probably try to get in grand or bull shoals

I'm a little surprised at the payout with a 900 entry fee though..
