Lake of the Ozarks is on FIRE...the 2nd leg of the 2021 Lake of the Ozarks division produced some BIG BAGS and some BIG BASS.

The Big Bass Bash coming up on April 17-18 is going to be a slugfest.
Anglers blasted off from PB2 at 6:30am on Saturday, April 3rd. We want to apologize for the inconvenience in the middle of takeoff with our speaker malfunction. We found out after takeoff that a few individuals sleeping in their Gilligan Island boat didn't care for the bass tournament or the "noise" at takeoff, so they unplugged our power cord to the take off speaker. Again, we apologize for the inconvenience.
The 2020 Lake of the Ozarks points winners, Chris & Tim Jeffries, continued their winning ways on Saturday, weighing in a giant sack of Lake of the Ozarks bass that pushed the scales to 24.89 lbs, anchored by a 6.48 lb. kicker.
