Ouachita River named site of 2024 Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Team Championship

MONROE, La. — B.A.S.S. has announced the 2024 Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Team Championship will be held on the Ouachita River in Monroe, La., Dec. 4-7, with the winner filling the last spot in the 2025 Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Classic presented by Jockey Outdoors. The Team Championship marks the first time a Bassmaster event has been held on the Ouachita River since the Mercury B.A.S.S. Nation Championship presented by Lowrance was held there in November 2021.

“Northeast Louisiana is known as a sportsman’s paradise, and what better way to show it than having anglers from across the country experience it firsthand,” said Scott Bruscato, executive vice president of sales for Discover Monroe-West Monroe.

“Discover Monroe-West Monroe is excited to be the host organization for the Bassmaster Team Championship, and we look forward to providing (the kind of) hospitality you can only receive in Louisiana.”

Battling for that coveted berth in the Bassmaster Classic will be the grass-roots anglers competing at the Bassmaster Team Championship. The team portion of the event will be held Dec. 4-5 and will feature anglers from across the country. The winning duo will not only win a cash prize, but will also lead the charge into the Classic Fish-Off which will take place Dec. 6-7.

The Top 3 teams through Day 2 — six anglers in all — will have their weights zeroed and then compete individually in the Fish-Off. The competitor with the heaviest two-day total of the group will earn their spot in the Classic.

In 2023, that honor went to 17-year-old Aaron Yavorsky, who became the youngest angler to ever qualify for the Bassmaster Classic, and, along with his teammate and father Rodney Yavorsky, also won the team title and the $25,000 cash prize.

“The Team Championship is a proving ground for up-and-coming anglers, and some really great competitors have gotten their beginnings in competitive fishing right here,” said B.A.S.S. Tournament Manager GL Compton. “We’re excited to be heading to the Ouachita River and are looking forward to the experience and the great community support that Monroe provides during this great event.”

Since it was launched in 2014, the Team Championship has seen tremendous growth. Originally, 38 trails were signed up. That number grew to 78 trails (with more than 15,494 members) last season when the annual Team Championship drew over 240 two-angler teams to the Harris Chain of Lakes in Florida.

The Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Team Championship is being hosted by Discover Monroe-West Monroe.

TULSA, Okla. — After 4.5 million viewers enjoyed live coverage of the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Classic presented by Jockey Outdoors on FOX, FS1 and the FOX Sports platforms in 2023, fans eager for up-to-the-minute coverage of this year’s Classic action will have ample opportunity to follow the year’s premier bass fishing event.

Bassmaster LIVE kicks off tournament coverage Friday morning at 8 a.m. ET on Bassmaster.com and the FOX Sports digital platforms. FS1 will broadcast live with the tournament leaders on Saturday and Sunday mornings before afternoon action from Championship Sunday picks up on FOX.

“Championship Sunday at the Bassmaster Classic is the pinnacle of a professional angler’s career, and watching the drama unfold live is the next best thing to being there for fans of the sport,” said B.A.S.S. CEO Chase Anderson. “Our FOX Sports partnership has allowed us to reach a whole new fan base over the past three seasons. We’re also able to bring Bassmaster LIVE to the largest possible audience by broadcasting on FOX to show the action leading up to the crowning of a Classic champion.

Oliver & Larabee Win 5 Alive/ ALTEC TRAIL Qualifier #1 Hyco Lake

In standard 5 Alive Team Trail fashion we opened up the 2024 – ALTEC TRAIL season with a good old fashion COLD FRONT

?

. I’ve come to expect it by now.

?‍♂️

With rain falling from the start of the tournament all the way through the end of the tournament the lake gave way to some good bags. We had 48 boats show up on Saturday to kick of the new season. It was at that point that I realized that there are alot of people just as crazy as I am! I mean you have to be crazy to know it’s going to rain all day and you still go fishing.

?

At the end of the day it was the Father /Son team of Ross Oliver & Ethan Larabee that took home the WIN. ( Side note!  They are also the reigning 2023 – 5 Alive Team Trail & 2023 Caswell Glass Heritage Trail Points Champions. ) They picked up rite where they left off from last year. They had a 5 fish limit weighing 20.72 pounds. That earned them a total of $1750.00. I must mention tho that they missed out on an extra $500.00 by not getting in the TWT

?

. Just a little needling there!

?

They were followed closely by another Father / Son team of William Jones & Scott Jones. They had a 5 fish limit weighing 20.48 pounds. That earned them a total of $525.00 Yep I’ve got more needling to do!! They missed out on and extra $550.00 by not getting in on the TWT

?

Either way both of these teams deserve a big round of applause for those BIG CATCHES! Well deserved and Congratulations!
Big Fish for the tournament was won by the team of Kennon & Kennon with a bass weighing 6.98 pounds. That fish earned them $480.00 Congrats to those guys!
The NC MARINE  / CAYMAS Cash Winners was Jeff & Logan Staton . They was the top finishing Caymas for the tournament.They won $300.00 for that. Congrats to those guys.
The winner of the Nasty jerkbait ( A new sponsor for the Trail this year) was Keith Patterson. If you haven’t checked out one of these jerkbaits yet by                     Mr. K.C.CHOOSAKUL  you need to!!
To wrap all of this up I want to say THANK YOU to everyone of yall that came out and fished on Saturday! To do that in those conditions shows Heart and Determination and we really appreciate all of yall!

B.A.S.S. Nation Championship to be held on Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees

GROVE, Okla. — On Wednesday, B.A.S.S. officials announced that Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees in Grove, Okla., will be the site of this year’s Mercury B.A.S.S. Nation Championship presented by Lowrance.

The 41,779-acre fishery features excellent populations of largemouth and smallmouth bass and has been the site of many major B.A.S.S. events, including the 2024 Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Classic presented by Jockey Outdoors, which is scheduled for March 22-24.

The Mercury B.A.S.S. Nation Championship at Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees presented by Lowrance will feature competition on Nov. 6-8, with three spots in the 2025 Classic up for grabs. Grove Convention & Tourism Bureau will be the host for the event, and daily takeoffs and weigh-ins will be held at Wolf Creek Park and Boating Facility in Grove.

“Grand Lake is firmly engrained in the history of B.A.S.S. competition,” said B.A.S.S. Tournament Manager GL Compton. “Some of our biggest moments as an organization have happened there, and that makes it the perfect destination for the Nation Championship.”

Grand Lake ranked ninth in the Central Division on Bassmaster Magazine’s annual 100 Best Bass Lakes list, and the lake has appeared on every rendition of the list since Bassmaster first began ranking lakes in 2012. The lake has hosted 11 major B.A.S.S. events, including most recently a St. Croix Bassmaster Open presented by SEVIIN in 2021 — an event that was won by Nick LeBrun with a three-day total of 50 pounds, 2 ounces.

Before this year’s Classic even begins, the lake has a long history of hosting the Super Bowl of Bass Fishing. It was the site of the 2013 Classic, which was won by Mississippi pro Cliff Pace, and the 2016 Classic where Oklahoma pro Edwin Evers hoisted the winner’s trophy.

“We have hosted thousands of fishing events at Wolf Creek Park in Grove, Okla., but when the city of Grove had the chance to host another B.A.S.S Nation event we were super-stoked,” said Brent Malone, director of the Grove Convention & Tourism Bureau. “Having the Bassmaster Classic in the spring and bookending it with the B.A.S.S Nation event in fall. Can it get any better?

“Many of the amenities (and the love for the sport) that the city of Grove (has) shows at Wolf Creek Park. We take great pride in being able to host anglers from all over the country, and the B.A.S.S. Nation Championship is yet another opportunity to host a championship event in our championship facility on our championship lake!”

A new format in 2024 has created more opportunities to qualify for the B.A.S.S. Nation Championship — even for anglers who are not affiliated with a local club. Starting this year, both individual B.A.S.S. Nation anglers and club members from each state are allowed to enter national qualifier events, with the Top 20 finishers advancing to the B.A.S.S. Nation Championship. Additionally, club anglers can qualify directly from their state tournaments.

“Interest in the B.A.S.S. Nation has risen dramatically, and our goal is to give the everyday angler more chances to make it to the B.A.S.S. Nation Championship,” Compton said. “Some working people and college students don’t have time to join a local club, so opening our regional qualifying events to unaffiliated individuals is a way to accommodate more competitors.”

Once anglers qualify for the Nation Championship on Grand they’re just one step away from achieving what most anglers dream of — a berth in the Bassmaster Classic. The top three finishers in the Nation Championship receive berths into the Classic, and the overall winner of the Nation Championship receives an invitation to fish the Bassmaster Elite Series, along with a Nation’s Best package that includes a fully-rigged truck and boat.

The Apex in Hardcore Fishing Wear

Best fabrics and components, intelligent design, and brutal testing lead to Whitewater Fishing’s Great Lakes™ Pro Jacket and Bibs.
MUSKEGON, Mich. (March 13, 2024) – You don’t hear much about the field testing that goes into bringing products to market. It’s either buried as a footnote in a new product release or not mentioned at all. (Shamefully, consumers conduct final testing on some products being rushed to market.) The polar-opposite is true when NEXUS Outdoors and Whitewater Fishing president, Aaron Ambur, was queried about the new Great Lakes Pro Jacket and Bibs. He begins by plugging the field testing.“We tested sample after sample of the Great Lakes Pro with real anglers and our pro staff to get it right. They’d provide feedback and we’d make tweaks. In fact, the final design was tested on the water for 60-days before we were convinced it was perfect. When you are at this level of precision, it is all about the small details.”Even though recent to the scene, Whitewater Fishing represents a 100-year heritage of developing premium apparel for the outdoors, all products rigorously tested in the woods or on the water. 
SHADE
BLACK
“The new Great Lakes Pro is our most technically designed and fabricated rain jacket and bib so far,” says Ambur. “For the angler who wants that one suit that will do it all during midwinter on the river, full-on ice fishing, or spring and fall fishing anywhere for anything, this is the suit.”“In a couple words: it’s clean and streamlined,” says Ambur. “And you get a level of stretch unprecedented in a 3-layer suit, while still being lightweight, durable, and athletic in form and function. The Great Lakes Pro Jacket and Bib is our team’s two-year product development effort designing the ultimate foul-weather fishing suit for hardcore anglers.”The centerpiece of the suit is Whitewater’s durable and proprietary 3-layer design, which consists of an exterior fabric, laminate, and light internal fabric layer. The deluxe 3-layer fabric earned Great Lakes Pro a 20k waterproof rating, meaning the fabric can endure 20,000 mm (ANSI standards) of water before any moisture gets through – that’s extreme waterproofing. (For reference, a 5,000 mm rating is the lowest a garment can have to be considered rainproof.) Moreover, the same 3-layer fabric is windproof, to keep you warm on cold, wind-cutting days. Combined, it’s battle armor for the wickedest weather.
Likewise, the Great Lakes Pro is remarkably breathable. Again, Whitewater being driven by honest numbers, the suit’s breathability rates 30,000g/m² – an exceptional rank. On the water, that means the Great Lakes Pro lets moisture escape while relentlessly keeping wind and water out. By moving body generated moisture out, you will not hold onto your sweat, which can be the starting point for getting cold. “From the first days of spraying Camp Dry on everything to what’s happening today, I’ve been there,” said Ambur, who has 30 years the outdoors soft goods industry, knowing industry guidelines, specifications, and ratings like the back of his hand. “With the Great Lakes Pro, I was beta testing our first production samples in long, cold showers at home. My wife thought I was crazy. But I wanted to find out if we were really getting it right before any of our pros took it out on the ice and water. Not to mention all the on-water days our external group of Whitewater Pros had testing and beating up the suit to ensure we were ready for launch.” Ambur continues: “All I can say is we got it right, and it’s our own special sauce, unlike anything competitors are doing with waterproofing and functional design engineering.”
BLACK
Part of that functional design equation is solving for maximum mobility, yet not sacrificing on durability, which is delivered with the Great Lakes Pro’s poly/spandex 4-way stretch shell. The first generation of extreme weather outerwear entered the fishing scene in the 1990’s. Although many suits were indeed waterproof, they draped over your body like a heavy tarp and constructed like a one-ton truck. Movement was severely restricted. You’d literally get tired fishing in it, your body struggling against the suit’s resistance. Inversely, Whitewater’s 4-way stretch fabric moves with you on every cast, kneel, and across the deck, remaining comfortable all day long. Today, mobility is key and the Great Lakes Pro delivers.Additionally, precision fabric cuts work in concert with the 4-way stretch fabric to advance range of motion, every cut stitched and taped for waterproofness and durability.  
Great Lakes Pro JACKET:Smart and specialized features adorn every inch of the Great Lakes Pro Jacket. Leading the pack is a higher hood collar that extends just below the nose, so when anglers are running full-tilt to spots down lake, the water and wind doesn’t hit their face. Several professional bass and walleye anglers asked for this unique feature.The jacket’s three-piece hood is also equipped with multiple adjustment points and a stiff brim. Critical to keeping wind and water out, anglers can customize the hood’s fit to form a facial fortress.No quality was spared when Whitewater selected zippers, either. The jacket sports an AquaGuard® Waterproof two-way main zipper. A pair of hand pockets, chest pocket, and inside pocket are also sealed and opened with AquaGuard two-way zippers.Other elements include hook and loop cuff adjustments on the sleeves, reflective material for safety, D-Rings thoughtfully positioned for a kill-switch and trolling motor FOB, and cinch at the bottom hem for customizing fit. 
Great Lakes Pro BIB:The Great Lakes Pro Bibs are equally intellectualized for fishing. First, you’ll appreciate the comfortable and easily adjustable shoulder straps. A key detail being the addition of silicon grip to keep the straps on your shoulders, not slipping down your arms.At the waist, a pair of high strength, molded hook and loop adjusters can be tightened above your hips to further personalize fit. Bringing the waist in reduces pull on your shoulders and accentuates range of motion.The same AquaGuard two-way zippers advance performance of the bibs, including the main zipper, six storage pockets, and legs. The function of the leg zippers was well conceived, too, as they open all the way to the waist, offering easy on and off, even with footwear.Further accoutrements include adjustments at the bottom hem to accommodate a range of footwear, D-Rings thoughtfully positioned for a kill-switch and trolling motor FOB, and reflective tape for visibility.Whether you’re climbing the ladder of quality in raingear, or want to start with the best, Whitewater’s new Great Lakes Pro Jacket and Bibs will prove you made a great choice.
