F.A.Q

What is the entry fee?

The entry fee is $250 for a three-day entry, $165 for a two-day entry, or $115 for a one-day entry (per angler), and you may fish with the co-angler of your choice.

Guntersville is a four-day event for 2025, and a four-day entry is $325.

We will continue the Junior Division for 2025. Participants 12 and under will compete for a top-three payback. The entry fee for the entire event is $75 (regardless of the number of days fished). Youth anglers may weigh in multiple times throughout the event; however, only their single heaviest bass will count toward the final Youth Division standings. Anglers 13 and over will compete for full payouts and pay full entry fees.

Is the tournament entry fee per angler or per boat?

The entry fee is per angler.

Can a co-angler fish with me in my boat?

Yes, this is an individual event for scoring purposes but anglers can have a co-angler of their choice fish with them and you do NOT have to sign up at the same time to fish together.

How many anglers can I have in my boat?

You may have up to three (3) anglers per boat assuming the boat has the required rating capacity. Each angler must be a paid participant.

Can I have someone in my boat that isn’t competing in the tournament?

No, each person in the boat (during tournament hours) must be a paid participant.
