Joe Bass Team Trail was once again requested to provide their tournament support for the 21st Annual Bass Tournament. What a good time this event was. Jeff and his entire staff are a pleasure to work with. This years tournament was moved to PB2 for take-off and weigh-in. The Inn at Grand Glaize in Osage Beach, MO provided lodging. Tournament conditions were as near to perfect as I’ve seen in some time, most notable was the fact that the top 5 places were all over 20+ lbs. Numerous baits, and techniques were acknowledged by the anglers as they were interviewed by Bob Capps, tournament emcee. This is a good event provided for good reason. Joe Bass staff are proud to be associated with it.
