$440,000....guaranteed!
That's the pay out for this year's annual Big Bass Splash on Toledo Bend Reservoir presented by Sealy Outdoors and B.A.S.S. and the fishing and winning get underway Friday and continues through Sunday.
By 6:30 Friday morning, Alex Finch of Lancaster, TX had already landed the bass that would bring him a prize package valued over $115,000. In fact, by Wednesday of last week, Finch already knew where this monster fish was located on Lake Sam Rayburn.
