"If you are a club member we also do a bass club challenge within the tournament series. Last year we had many different club members join us to fish The Club Championship that came down to the last event before we had a winner. The eventual winner was Bassin’ Buddies based in Glendale, California. They won a huge assortment of tackle that they were able to use at there, year end, banquet to give to all the anglers in the club. So please remember to fill out the club affiliation sheet when you enter one of our tournaments. Your club could be the 2012 winning club.
