BREEDEN & KEAGY TOP THE FIELD AT STOP #1 OF THE LAKE OF THE OZARKS DIVISION
What a kickoff at Stop #1 of the Russell Marine Products AiA Tournament Trail, presented by Phoenix Boats – Lake of the Ozarks Division, brought to you by Justin Swast with Trophy Properties & Auction.
A total of 189 boats battled it out on LOZ, vying for that $10,000 grand prize and valuable points towards the year-end championship.
158 teams brought bass across the AiA scales, included 120 teams that had 5 fish limits. Over 700 bass were weighed in totaling 1,967 lbs. All bass weighed in were put into the AFTCO LIVE RELEASE bus, managed and cared for by the team at Ulrich Marine, and were released alive & healthy back to the waters of Lake of the Ozarks.
We want to thank you all for participating in the 2026 Kickoff at LOZ. We also want to thank all of our sponsors and supporters that make the trail possible. Thank you to Jack Uxa & Steve Heitman at Bassing Bob for providing hot dogs and refreshments at weigh-in.
