2020 Timmons Oil Company Big Bass Bash®, presented by Cherokee Casino
Grand Lake: May 30-31, 2020

Over 1100 anglers from across the country attended the Big Bass Bash® at Grand Lake on May 30-31. With the current covid19 situation, the event was dialed down to reduce crowds and maintain proper social distancing. A limited number of anglers were allowed at the staging tanks at one time, and the awards ceremony was restricted to only the top 3 anglers. We thank you all for adhering to the guidelines and helping make this event a success. Over $143,000 was paid out at this event !!

On to the fishing. With the huge inflow of water days prior to the event, Grand Lake was around 5 feet above normal pool by tournament time. This made for some tough fishing conditions, especially on the northern end of the lake. The Bernice Point weigh-in station seen the brunt of the action, with around 70% of the field utilizing this location.
There were a total of 261 bass weighed in Saturday, and 245 bass weighed in on Sunday. All bass weighed in were placed in the AFTCO BASS BUS, which were operated by the experienced technicians at Ulrich Marine, then released alive and healthy back to the waters of Grand Lake. 

Brandi Briley's bass was one of those placed into the release boat, and what a bass it was. Brandi Briley, of Louisburg, MO, hooked into her winning fish during the first time slot on Sunday. Brandi, along with her net man & boyfriend, Jeremy, were fishing a stretch of bank down towards the dam. They were working there way towards a laydown on a main lake point, which they said was hit by numerous anglers before they were able to fish it.
Once they neared the laydown, Jeremy ran a crankbait by it, to no avail. Brandi picked up her Lew's Speed Stick, armed with a Crock-O-Gator Gator Lock jig head and a green pumpkin muskrat creature bait. She pitched that bait towards the laydown, and it was immediately hammered by a 7.92 lb. giant. The fight was on!. 
Brandi was able to work the bass towards the boat, where Jeremy netted it and the celebration began. They placed her into the livewell and headed off to the Bernice Point weigh-station, where Big Bass Bash history was made. Congratulations to Brandi Briley, the first woman to win the Bash, and take home the grand prize of $50,000.

The 2nd tournament of the season for the Grand Lake Division of Anglers in Action is now in the books. A total of 133 teams ventured out to the Wolf Creek Park on Saturday, May 16th, ready to hit the water and fill their livewells. With rising water, floating debris, and storms predicted for the day, we converted to a trailering event, which allowed teams to travel to other ramps in the morning to launch.
Due to the covid19 situation, along with local and state guidelines, we instituted a drive-thru weigh-in process, which eliminated the crowds and gatherings at the holding tanks. We appreciate all of the anglers for their support in making this a seamless transition. From registration to final weigh-in, everything went about as smooth as possible. Thanks again to all that fished and to our great sponsors and local supporters that contribute to the success of Anglers in Action.
