Tradition is important.
Each year, we award not only winners at each event, but there is an Angler Of The Year awarded to the angler who remains consistent throughout the season, through all phases of bass movement, and the entire length of our massive gem. Some years it takes two wins to get it done and only twice overall, has someone finished outside the top 10 and went on to win the cup. You simply can’t let up.
