Event Info

The 2012 version of this tournament was absolutely thrilling to watch, especially as superstar Chris Lane hauled in a 51.6-pound monster bass to win it all.

Lane will try to become the first back-to-back champion since Kevin VanDam pulled it off in 2010 and 2011.

It’s certainly not going to be easy, especially with climate conditions much different than what Lane and the other competitors faced down in Shreveport-Bossier City, Louisiana last year.

Expect a non-stop thrill ride of awesome angling in some of the toughest conditions imaginable, with the fisherman with the most grit and skill persevering in the end.
