KVD Big Bass Classic - April 9-11th

It’s a fun event to fish! This will be my 4th time fishing it. Good luck & tight lines!

Wish I could get down to fish this event, sounds like a lot of fun. 

What are your guesses on the winning big fish? 

[m&m]

Ok, due to unforeseen circumstances Patlock and I are not able to fish this tourney this year so the organizers graciously moved our entry to next year. But I’m watching the posted results and looking for names of our members. Here’s hoping our members have a good showing as the results are posted. In the first couple of hours a few >5 lbs were weighed in.

Just curious to know how many anglers do you have registered for the event?

Their regatta permit was for 400. If anyone is interested, there is a big bass tournament on LOZ next weekend. Their regatta permit is for 1,200 boats.

Is that’s a bass tournament no thanks. If it’s a poker run I’ll need at least a straight flush .

[willyfish]

Are they using a release boat for this or letting them go at the marina?

That's great news. Why in the world do organizers continue to hold big-bass events during the spawn? It doesn't take a biologist to figure out that when you take hundreds of fish off their spawning beds, you are hurting the fishery. It's not even an argument. One bass taken from a bed potentially kills hundreds of fry. Multiply that out and we wouldn't NEED supplemental stocking (which we aren't getting) if we would just let nature take care of itself without interrupting the spawn of the fish that at least some of us love dearly. 

Annual spawning season tournament rant over. We now return you to normally scheduled programming.
