Just curious to see if anybody from SETXSPORTS was fishing this tournament or attending the festivities? It is hosted on Lake Sam Rayburn at the Humphrey Family Pavilion April 25th-27th. It is the worlds largest amatuer bass tournament with the world's largest payout. There is a guaranteed payout of over $1 Million dollars. One fish alone (the largest of the tournament) will be worth over a quarter of a million dollars. If you're not familiar with this tournament it is not a stringer tournament where you weigh in 5 fish for the heaviest 5 fish weight, it is a big bass tournament. One fish will make money! Each day at the tournament weigh in site there will be FREE live concerts featuring country music artists Josh Turner, Chris Young, and more. I'm going, it will be much fun!

I fished the tournament but we had our issues w/fuel.Topped of tanks@ the shell station in Batson.Turned out we had water in the fuel=not good w/all the boats running everywhere.Trolled 2 mi to Rayburn Park to catch a ride over to Powell Park to p/u the truck/trailer,then get a mechanic to drain the fuel & fix the water related issues on a fuel injected outboard.We caught lots of fish,but none over 3 lbs.Never seems to fail some folk(not catching)love to run wide open across a grass flat in 7' of water among 60 boats or more.Esp when they could swing out 100 yds and go around everybody.Over 5,000 entries less than the 7,000+ projected.Alot of the grass I used to fish is sparse to hardly any from the down lake levels sometime back.1st time I didn't get in the hourly $@McDonald Big Bass Splash
