Once we hit the 100 entry mark the rest will be put on a waiting list.

Ranger Boats and Mercury Marine are both working on having their support trucks there at the event to help out anyone! The fishing is absolutely great right now at Mead, there have been 2 almost 20lb limits in recent local events, and the weather is going to be great for this event!
Even with a big announcement coming very soon, here is a list of the current sponsors for this great event: Ranger Boats, Mercury Marine, Lucas Oil, American Bass, Luck-E-Strike, The Hook Up, Shimano, Cabela’s, Lowrance, The Hunting Brooker, River’s West, $500 Ranger Cup Money for the winner, if qualified.

LAKE MEAD - JUNE 25TH-27TH, 2012

This will be a 3-Day Shared Weight Pro/Am Open Tournament. This event is limited to the first 100 Pro & Co-angler entries. The Cash paybacks are huge, the best payback percentages ever offered for an open event in the west!
The Basic Entry Fee is $1,500 for the Pro and $500 for the Co-Angler. Every major Pro/Am event has been drawing more than 100 boats. Since this event is being offered with fairly short notice, this 1st event will be limited to only 100 boats. In addition, all anglers that enter this 1st event will receive priority registration in the future Lucas Oil showcase events. Plans are in the works for more great events!

In addition to the paybacks below remember that Lucas Oil is guaranteeing a Ranger Z118 powered by a Mercury 150 ProXS Outboard boat package for the Biggest Bass of the Tournament, whether it’s a Pro or a Co angler! The winner of the boat needs to be in the Big Fish Option which is only a $100 option per angler!

Lucas Oil is guaranteeing this great prize no matter how many anglers enter the option. Plus, the biggest fish each day in the option will receive $1,000 Cash!
Additional sponsors are coming on board for this event and future events. With premiere sponsors such as Lucas Oil and Ranger Boats, the opportunities are limitless!

This is a great opportunity to get in on the beginning of many new things in store for the future between American Bass, Lucas Oil and Ranger Boats. There are more plans in the works and by fishing this event, you are on the Priority List for future events.
Also, all Pro Anglers entering this event will receive a special “Pro Card” identifying these anglers are professional anglers competing in this great event.
To secure your spot, you need to enter with a $200 non-refundable deposit for Pro and $100 for the Co-Angler. All entries with both a Pro and Co-Angler, registering together, will be guaranteed a spot. Any individual entries in either the Pro or Co-Angler divisions will not be guaranteed a spot until a matching number for the other category is received. If there is an imbalance in entries in either category, individuals will be entered on a wait list. Any entries above the 100 limit will be entered on a wait list.

Your entry can be made via Credit Card by calling the main American Bass office (310) 376-1026 or by mailing a check to: American Bass, 402 N. Prospect Ave., Redondo Beach, CA 90277. Full payment for both the Pro and Co-Angler entries must be made on or before June 15th, 2012.
