The 34th Annual Big Bass Splash on Toledo Bend presented by Sealy Outdoors is coming up this Friday through Sunday.  The tournament was originally scheduled in May, however safety concerns due to COVID-19 caused the dates to be rescheduled.

This terrible virus is still prevalent, so let's go over a few things that haven't changed and a few others that have.

  • The payout is still the same.  $516,000 in guaranteed cash and prizes will be paid out.
  • The payout structure is still the same from the top 15 every hour, exact weight, and overall top 5.
  • There will be no Little Anglers Division this year.
