WHEN: Saturday, June 6
WHERE: Takeoff – 6 a.m. and weigh-in – 2 p.m., Black Dog Park, Skiatook, Okla.
NOTES: Due to unsafe water conditions, the Walmart BFL tournament at Fort Gibson Lake slated for June 6 has been moved and anglers will now compete on Skiatook Lake. Anglers will takeoff and weigh-in at Black Dog Park, located on Highway 20 in Skiatook, Oklahoma. Up to 400 boaters and co-anglers will be competing for top awards of up to $8,000 and $3,000 respectively in the one-day event.
The top 50 boaters and 50 co-anglers based on point standings will qualify for the Oct. 22-24 Regional Championship on Lake of the Ozarks in Osage Beach, Missouri. Boaters will compete for a top award of a Ranger Z518C with a 200-horsepower Evinrude or Mercury outboard and $20,000, while co-anglers will fish for a new Ranger Z518C with a 200-horsepower Evinrude or Mercury outboard.
The BFL is a 24-division circuit devoted to weekend anglers, with 120 tournaments throughout the season, five in each division. The top 50 boaters and co-anglers from each division qualify for a regional tournament and compete to finish in the top six, which then qualifies them for one of the longest-running championships in all of competitive bass fishing – the Walmart BFL All-American. Top winners in the BFL can move up to the Rayovac FLW Series or even the Walmart FLW Tour.
