BAITWRX BIG BASS BASH, PRESENTED BY BLACK RAIN ORDNANCE
Lake of the Ozarks: October 5-6, 2024
What a weekend it was at the 2024 BaitWrx Fall Big Bass Bash, presented by Black Rain Ordnance. Anglers from across the country (and Canada) made their way to Missouri’s, Lake of the Ozarks, to take part in one of the largest amateur Big Bass tournaments in the nation.
Over $344,000 in guaranteed cash and prizes was paid out, including a massive $100,000 top prize to the lucky angler that landed the heaviest bass of the event. The Big Bass Bash also pays hundreds of bi-hourly payouts throughout the weekend, 360 to be exact, totaling over $144,000. Plus, numerous $500 exact weights, a Phoenix Boat drawing, Go-Cart Drawing, Kid’s and Ladies Division, and much more!
We want to thank each and every one of you that attended this event and we hope you had a great time at Lake of the Ozarks. Thank you to all of our amazing sponsors, local businesses and supporters, Tri-County Lodging Association, Parks & Conservation department, and local Law Enforcement that help make this event possible. We also want to thank our entire staff that work tirelessly to ensure everything runs smoothly and efficiently. We couldn’t do it without all of you!
