Congratulations to the teams that earned a total of at least 300 points after this tournament.  They have become eligible to compete in the 2006-Wisconsin Bass Classic at Minocqua, in September.  There will be approximately $17,000 paid at the 2006 Wisconsin Bass Classic, making it one of the highest paybacks ever made for a Bass tournament in Wisconsin.  Those teams with at least 250 total points as of now, need only compete in the next tournament to achieve a total of 300 points.

Our next tournament in this Series is August 6, 2006 at Big Chetac.  This tournament is presented by Warner’s Dock, New Richmond.
