Tournament History / Tournament Records
Record Book
This is a very short list of tournament winners and stats from the past few years. We hope to eventually have more winners shown and possibly even records and lists of highest weight totals, big bass winners, and anything else we can find from the past. We are still looking for past issues of the NBF newsletter and tournament results of any kind from past years. If you have any results not shown here, please e-mail us at Doug.Rishel "at" gmail.com. Thank you!
