How the Tournament Works
1. Register for the tournament online, by mail, or in person.
2. On the tournament morning, you can take off from anywhere on Lake of the Ozarks. You cannot trailer your boat once you are in for the day, and you must come to weigh-in by water. First cast time is 7:00am.
3. Start fishing. Each angler is allowed to weigh-in one fish per time slot.
4. Keep an eye on the AFTCO Live Leaderboard to see if you placed for a cash prize.
5. Repeat for the 2nd day of competition, and hopefully catch the Biggest Bass of the event.
