T-shirt Hours

The 8 a.m. and 12 noon weigh-ins are designated T-shirt hours. If you bring in the heaviest bass for that hour AND have purchased the official Big Bass Splash t-shirt, you will double your prize from $10,000 to $20,000.

You must either be wearing the t-shirt or have it in your possession at the time of the weigh-in. The cost of the t-shirt is $30.

Exact Weight Fish

The contestant(s) who weighs in the first 3.00/4.00/5.00 exact weight bass each day of the tournament will be awarded $10,000 at the Sunday Awards Ceremony. That’s a total of $90,000 that will be given away for exact weight bass.

Keep in mind that this is guaranteed money to be paid out, so for any unclaimed exact weight bass not caught, the money will go into a drawing among all paid contestants at the Sunday Awards Ceremony.

But, you must be present to win. If your name is drawn and you didn’t stick around, as they say at the Sealy Outdoor Tournaments — “You’re history!”
