Over the years the Sealy Outdoors Big Bass Splash events have paid out millions of dollars to amateur anglers and the history continues… Fifteen places will be paid in cash each hour of each tournament day beginning with the 7-8 AM hour and continuing through the 1-2 PM hour for the fifteen single heaviest bass weighed in. Top prize each hour is $2,500. Hourly updates will be broadcasted live on KICKS 105.1 FM and once hour is official, results are listed on Facebook/Big-BassSplash1984.
