Berkley BIG BASS Challenge just weeks away

BETHEL ISLAND, Ca. - For those of you that did not have the opportunity to participate in last year's Berkley Big Bass Challenge, you missed a truly an exciting event, but not to worry... in just 3 short weeks it’s coming back to the California delta, June 6-7th at Russo's Marina bringing with it more fun and bigger payouts than ever before! Its format is truly unique in that it matches angling skill with weigh-in strategy.

Each exciting competition day consists of a six-hour period, where anglers can weigh-in their single largest fish. Some anglers who participated in last year’s event called it bass fishing’s version of “Texas hold em”. Each hour anglers bring one fish to the scales to try to stay in the running for a chance to receive one of the seven hourly cash awards (over $1,300 given out each hour), with $500.00 being given for the biggest fish of the hour. The angler with the biggest fish each hour will also qualify as a "Top 12" finalist, and at the end of the event, will have a chance to win the keys to a new Toyota Tundra, valued at $28,000!

The catch is that ONLY Berkley baits can be used during the Challenge.

You heard right…seven checks per hour, for two days straight, OVER $16,000 IN CASH , with the top 12 hourly big fish winners having a chance to win a brand new Toyota Tundra truck, all for a $150 per person entry fee that covers you for both days. And, if those “honey do’s” get you boxed in, where you simply can’t fish both days, you can still get in on the fun, as you can signup for the one-day entry fee of just $100 dollars.

And that’s not the best part. The new Toyota Tundra, along with the seven per hour/per day checks, are GUARANTEED to be given away…regardless of the size of the field!

This represents an over 250% payout based on one hundred participants! How does it get better than that?!

Anglers arriving Friday, the day before the event at Russo’s Marina, will have the opportunity to attend seminars hosted by Berkley pro-staff. The Berkley Experience trailer, a 70 foot plus rolling event center, will be on site from Friday until the final weigh-in and awards on Sunday. The trailer features Interactive presentation screens, Wii video games, a knot tying station and competition, bait demonstration tanks, PLUS Russo’s will be under the big tent ready to supply all of your Berkley bait needs so that you will be prepared for the next day’s competition. And save your empty BERKLEY GULP! and POWERBAIT bags as we will host a big raffle at the end of event where you can trade your bags for raffle tickets!

California anglers...this is an unprecedented chance to fish in a fun, exciting venue that is close to home, very inexpensive to fish, on a body of water well-known for BIG fish, with an unbelievable payback!
