The 3rd stop of the AiA Grand Lake division yielded a total of 109 boats. With the high water and floating debris scattered around Grand Lake, AiA gave anglers the option to trailer to other ramps to launch in the morning. Safety first!

Teams arrived back at the Wolf Creek Park Saturday afternoon, ready to weigh in their catch. A total of 322 bass made their way across the AiA scales Saturday, totaling 904.06 lbs. There were 50 five fish limits weighed in. 

Anglers in Action veterans, Jim Zaleski and Zac Udock, took their first AiA win Saturday with an impressive sack that weighed in at 21.56 lbs. They reported fishing down lake, targeting steep bluffs with Bruiser Big Stickbaits and C&C Custom Jigs to round up their winning weight. Zac & Jim took home a total of $3,780.00 for their win. Congrats guys !

Second place went to the team of Jerry Weisinger & Charlie Apperson. They came up just short of the first place team, with 5 fish that locked in on 21.48 lbs. Charlie & Jerry took home $2,460.00 for their second place finish.

Third place overall went to the team of Tim Hickson and Ben King, with 5 solid bass that weighed in at 20.93 lbs. Ben & Tim walked away with $1,720.00.

Lew's Big Bass of the event went to Toby Hartsell and James Norman. They weighed in a 6.53 lb. bruiser to take Big Bass and 11th place overall, for total winnings of $1,400.00.

First place out of the money took home the $200 Timmons Oil Company gift certificate. That went to the team of Jody Buckle and Art Hines. The Timmons Oil Company certificate can be used at either the Tulsa, OK location or the Springdale, AR location. Don't forget Timmons Oil Company is the Title Sponsor for the upcoming Big Bass Bash at Grand Lake.

We want to thank you all for participating Saturday at Grand Lake. We appreciate all of your support. Thanks to all of our great sponsors for their continued support. Please patronize these companies that support the Anglers in Action Tournament Trail. The next AiA event at Grand Lake will be held on June 22, out of the Wolf Creek Ramp at 6am.

The final regular season tournament in the Lake of the Ozarks division is now in the books. 112 boats gathered at the PB2 ramp in Osage Beach, MO on Sunday, ready to hit the water. A thick blanket of fog greeted the anglers, which led to a delay in take off Sunday. Around 7am, teams blasted off from PB2, in search of 5 big bass to bring across the AiA scales that afternoon.

Rob Bueltmann and Ben Verhoef were one of those teams looking for 5 good bites Sunday, and they found them. Ben and Rob hammered Lake of the Ozarks for 22.34 lbs., which was enough to seal the win at the final regular season event of the Lake of the Ozarks division. They reported catching a big one early Sunday on topwater, then switched over to a Carolina rig to haul in the remainder of their bass. They took home a total of $3,680.00 for their win. Congratulations gentlemen!

Michael Montgomery and James Frank had a great year, and they won the Bassing Bob Lake of the Ozarks division points race with 928 points. James and Michael had a total weight of 73.40 lbs. over 4 events. They'll take home $500, courtesy of Bassing Bob. Visit www.bassingbob.com for all of your Lake of the Ozarks fishing information.

The 3rd stop of the Anglers in Action Table Rock Lake division finally brought some decent, dry, weather. With numerous tournaments going on Saturday, bass boats were abound on the Rock. Anglers in Action had a great turnout of 73 boats, ready to rock and roll for a 6am takeoff out of the Port of Kimberling Resort & Marina.

Lots of bass came across the AiA scales Saturday, with 68 of the 73 teams weighing in fish. The father & son duo of Kelly & Kyle Power topped the field Saturday, with a solid limit of bass that pushed the AiA scales to 19.28 lbs. Kelly & Kyle reported fishing areas between Aunts Creek & Point 12, flipping brush hogs on main lake points to accumulate their winning bag. They took home a total of $2,680 in AiA winnings plus $5,000 in TAG incentive cash. If you haven't checked out the TAG incentive program, you're missing out.

The AFTCO BASS BUS was on hand as well, taking care of the fish after the catch. All bass were cared for and released healthy & happy back in to the beautiful waters of Table Rock Lake. Thanks to AFTCO and Ulrich Marine for their partnership with AiA in conserving the species.

Thanks to all that fished with AiA Saturday. We know you all have numerous options when deciding which tournaments you fish, and we appreciate all of your support. The final Table Rock division tournament will be held on September 15th, out of the Port of Kimberling Resort & Marina. See ya'll then !

What a weekend at the 2019 Spring Big Bass Bash at Missouri's Lake of the Ozarks. Weatherwise, anglers were greeted with just about every factor possible throughout the weekend...rain, sun, cold temps, high winds...etc. A typical spring weekend in Missouri.

The fishing, or should we say, catching, was great throughout the weekend. Lot's of big weights were weighed in on Saturday, with the top 4 overall all weighed in on that day. The lake is as healthy as it has ever been. It took nearly a 5 lb. bass just to break into the check line on Saturday, very impressive. Sunday was a different story, with a severe cold front that passed through the evening before, many anglers reported a much tougher bite, with just one fish weighed in all day over 6 lbs.

Midwest Fish Tournaments paid out over $265,000 in cash for this event, which included overall payouts, bi-hourly time slots, ladies bonus, exact weights, and early bird prizes. We want to thank all of you that participated in this event. The Lake of the Ozarks Big Bass Bash has grown to become one of the premier bass tournaments in the country. This is all due in part to the angler support, all of our great sponsors, the community interaction and the support of the Tri County Lodging Association at Lake of the Ozarks. Thank you all !

Don't miss the rest of the Big Bass Bash season:

Pickwick Lake, AL: June 1-2

Grand Lake, OK: June 8-9

Lake of the Ozarks, MO: October 5-6
