Big Bass Bash / Anglers In Action

Big Bass Bash / Anglers In Action Midwest Fish Tournaments, home of the Big Bass Bash, Anglers in Action Tournament Trail, and the Big Crappie Challenge.

The Big Bass Bash®, HOME OF THE $100,000 BASS, is geared primarily towards the novice angler. 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, our format is distinctive in that it only takes one fisherman just one big bass to win. The Big Bass Bash® dra

ws anglers from across the country, with family-oriented events, large, guaranteed cash payouts, and generous annual donations to local and regional charities. The Anglers in Action® Tournament Trail is a competitive tournament trail that operates in Missouri and Oklahoma. Anglers in Action® Tournament Trail offers 9 qualifying tournaments throughout the season and a year-end Tournament of Champions, where a new Phoenix 819 boat package is awarded to first place. The Big Crappie Challenge, The Largest Big Crappie Event In The Nation, offers anglers a unique twist on traditional crappie tournaments. Anglers have the opportunity to weigh-in a big crappie up to 4 times each day of the tournament. Over 160 bi-hourly payouts and a massive $50,000 grand prize to the angler that weighs in the biggest crappie of the event.
