Team of the Year

Tournament Payouts
Premier Bass continues to have some of the highest payouts in the area. Each tournament pays out a percentage of the tourney fees, 100% of the option pots plus tournament sponsorship money. See the tournament rules for the details. Last year we paid out over $60,000. As we continue to increase our tourney sponsorships, we will continue to improve our payouts.
Bonus Money for Stratos, Triton, Champion & Evinrude Owners
Bonus money is paid out to the top finisher of Stratos boats and E-Tec owners – no registration is necessary. Champion and Triton boat owners are also eligible for bonus money but must register at the links below.
