IWFA BASS TOURNAMENT - RETURNS AFTER 10 YEARS

The All-Release Bass Tournament returned with rousing success after over a ten year hiatus! This classic club event at Roland Martin Resort & Marina included two full days of fishing on Lake Okeechobee and a lively theme night barbecue. The coveted gold disc was awarded to Top Angler Jing Torn - congratulations! In total, 69 Largemouth Bass were released. 

The 2022 Bass Tournament was held at Roland Martin Marina and Resort on April 3-5 at Lake Okeechobee. We had 14 anglers and were presented with some challenging fishing and low catch and release numbers. For the two-day event only 69 largemouth bass were caught and released. Congratulations to Jing Torn for her 1st place finish, Mary Weingart placed 2nd and Brenda Moore placed 3rd. Team winners were: First Place Team (Mary Weingart and Lisa Everett), Second Place Team (Lorraine Francis and Brenda Moore) and Third Place Team (Pam Marmin and Connie O’Day). A big thank you to Allison Stattner for an amazing job pulling this event together and everyone had a great time. Once all invoices have been paid a final accounting will be presented.
