LAKE OF THE OZARKS, MO – Some of the best amateur anglers from across the country will pilot their boats around the Lake of the Ozarks in search of a largemouth bass that could land them the $100,000 first-place prize during the 2021 Fall Big Bass Bash, October 2-3.
The Big Bass Bash pays out a guaranteed $325,000 prize purse to participating anglers throughout the event, including over $142,000 in bi-hourly payouts. The grand prize of $100,000 goes to the angler that catches the largest bass throughout the tournament weekend with second place winning $20,000, third place taking home $10,000 and fourth place earning $5,000.
