There won't be anything official online (well, the regular internet anyways - there is a dedicated page on the Tyson Foods' Intranet)

This will be our 32nd tourney (it's an annual tourney).

280-300 teams is the usual average

One member must work for Tyson (or retired Tyson Team Member).

There is a provision for Major Sponsors allowing employees of the major sponsors to fish, but that's out of my paygrade to figure out :-)

There is a dinner / rules meeting on Friday evening, and then the tourney on Saturday (This year  Friday April 28  / Saturday April 29)

Friday night at Reed Springs High School / Weigh in at Kimberling City Marina Saturday (might want to steer clear of those two spots - lots of folks)

The TBA (Tyson Bass Association) has become a bit legendary with the door prizes for entrants that attend the rules meeting - everything from jumper cables to $400 rod'/reel combos to a largescreen TV... Usually 100 or so prizes.

Seems like they pay back the top 75 places - and even 75th place gets maybe $100? Entry fee is $85 (includes big bass)

It's a great time with a great big family. I just love the time spent with the same buddies from work every year - it's a two or three day man-cave on the water lol!

And, just to prove that I have passed all of my required electronic media training this year.......

And Dave I talked to you last year but had so much changing going on.  I do need your heads in here.

Didn't know about the move. Congrats. The area is hungry for quality tackle sales, of the non BPS type. Plenty of lake to support it.

Shoot me a PM on the jigs. Would love to make them available closer to the lake.

We still have a long ways to go to get the shop where we want it but now we have the room to do so, unlike our previous location.

That's great to hear.  I'll be sure and stop by sometime next week if not tomorrow on the way down.

Congratulations and anxious to see the new digs!

And, I might add, where else can one hear of such things or glean such great information regarding the Table Rock area in one easy "click"!

Good stuff I say.
