Big Bass Tour 2026

Unlike traditional bass fishing tournaments where anglers weigh in five bass at the end of the day, the Bass Pro Shops/Cabela’s Big Bass Tour allows amateur anglers from all skill levels to win multiple cash payouts each day during the hourly weigh-ins. Each tournament day features seven hourly weigh-ins that pay ten cash payouts each hour.

That means each three-day event offers a total of 210 hourly cash payouts, and a four-day event offers 280 hourly cash payouts. The angler with the overall biggest bass of the event will also win the Grand Prize of $20,000.

Entry fees are per angler; you may have up to three (3) anglers per boat. You don't have to register together to fish together.

Junior Division: 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). Anglers 13 and over will compete for full payouts and pay full entry fees.
