Big Bass Splash

[FirstLight]

Does anyone totally understand the rules of the Big Bass Splash? I have read through the rules and I am not 100% sure how it works. Is there a weigh in every hour?

Thanks for help.

Every hour starting at 7-8 9-10 11-12 1-2 bonus card will pay two extra places each our and bonus hour card will double your winnings 8-9 12-1 go to big bass splash on line double check it's a lot of fun been fishing them for years

They are fun to fish Pete but there is some strategy involved? Listen to the radio they announce what is leading for that hour. Don’t go in at the beginning of the hour. Buy the card and shirt may increase your chances a bit. You can also launch anywhere if you have a favorite spot.

Yea that would be a sweet ride!

Make sure everything on your boat works! There have been people that lose a lot of money for a non working kill switch.

A kayak may be the best option right,,,looks like it's almost white water the current is so strong rolling out Richland,,,it's almost pulling the bouys under

Gonna be a cold rough ride up to Dayton to weigh in if the forecast is correct. Wind chill in the 20s and 30s until near noon. Wind 10-20 mph.

I really wanted to fish it this year, and it seems like I say that every year, but I have a tournament and can’t make it. Good luck to you guys if you fish it.

Yea, that's a good point. I was planning on putting in at Soddy and working my way up to Dayton, but having second thoughts because I assume there will be a lot of floating debris to contend with and it is about a 16 mile ride up there. Not to mention having to come back down to Soddy.

Year before last I went out on a day like that and hit as log floating near the nuke plant and ended my day. Hard to see them when the water if rough. Hope everyone is very careful...

The bonus card is only good for odd hours FYI. Everyone be safe.

Hey Pete the debris is not that bad at all. I really didn't see anything on the main channel. You should be just fine
