Brought to you by the Kansas B.A.S.S. Nation

The Kansas B.A.S.S. Nation will sponsor a 2-youth team bass tournament at Wilson Reservoir September 8, 2013. Also hosting the event is the Russell County Economic Development and Convention & Visitors Bureau.
This is a youth-only bass tournament. Any two youth aged 18 and under can create a team with an adult as their boater/coach. The two youth anglers’ fish, the boater/coach drives the boat but does not fish. You don’t need to be a member of any group or organization to enter.
There is a $50 per team entry fee,* which includes all side pots. The team will fish for a five-fish limit. They will have a live weigh-in. Based on 30 teams entered, prizes will be given for first through sixth places, plus a Biggest Bass award and a Second Biggest Bass award. A $350 prize package for Biggest Bass is being donated by the Backlashers Bass Club and the $150 prize package for second Biggest Bass has been donated by the KC Bass Club.
