We will hold a Bi-Hourly Big Bass Open Team tournament on September 1 out of Anchor Marine.
There will be four ( 4 ) time periods of two ( 2 ) hours each in which you can weigh your biggest bass.
The team that weighs the biggest bass in each time period will win that time period’s cash.
That means 4 chances for each team to win cash in this tournament.
