Dave Knuth Scores Big
(posted July 13th, 2010 -Story and info from Jerry Pape)
Dave Knuth, Vice President of our Nebraska Federation won the Truman Lake Big Bass Bash held on Truman on June 26th and 27th. As typical with many big bass tournaments, weigh-ins were held throughout the day at various locations on the lake.
On Saturday, Dave weighed in three different fish that resulted in tournament dollars including the big fish of the tournament. Dave caught the 7 lb. 11 ounce monster during the 11 AM - 1 PM weigh-in period. When Dave first got the fish to the boat, he thought it was close to 10. Although not quite 10, it was still an impressive fish resulting in the big prize of $11,000.
The fish was located in a cedar tree off of a main lake point. The other two fish Dave weighed on Saturday netted him an additional $425, making the winnings for the event total $11,425. Not bad for a weekend trip to Truman. Congratulations, Dave!

Hays Bass Anglers Association's 10th Annual Big Bass Challenge
August 21st, 2010 - Wilson Reservoir, KS
It's time once again to mark your calendars for the Hays Bass Anglers Association 10th Annual Big Bass Challenge - August 21, 2010 to be held at Wilson Reservoir, KS. 80% payback.
Due to declining water levels/bass fisheries, we have moved this event from Cedar Bluff to Wilson . With the move, we anticipate better fishing and more boat entries which means greater prizes.
The HBAA Big Bass Challenge is a unique tournament in which prizes are awarded on an hourly basis with the grand prize going towards the biggest fish weighed in for the day. In addition to cash prizes, there will be a free BBQ dinner for all contestants. With this format, you are just 1 bite away from winning it all!
