If you love fishing and big prizes, then mark your calendar! The famous Sealy Outdoors Big Bass Splash is coming back to Lake Toledo Bend from May 16 to 18, 2025. This popular event is open to amateur anglers and promises excitement, friendly competition, and a chance to win $550,000 in guaranteed cash and prizes.
The tournament will take place at Cypress Bend Park, and it’s expected to attract fishing lovers from all over. Whether you’re a serious angler or just want to try your luck, this is your chance to take part in one of the biggest amateur fishing events in the U.S.
What You Can Win – It’s a Big Deal!
The biggest prize of the weekend goes to the person who catches the largest bass of the tournament. This lucky angler will win a grand prize package worth over $100,000, which includes:
- A Phoenix 721 ZXL bass boat with a Mercury 250 PXS TM motor
- High-end gear from Minn Kota, Humminbird, and Power Pole
- A brand-new Dodge Ram truck
- $5,000 in cash
This is more than just a fishing tournament – it’s a chance to walk away with a life-changing prize.
Hourly Cash Prizes – Win Every Hour!
You don’t have to wait till the end of the tournament to win. Every hour from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. during the event days, the angler who brings in the heaviest bass will receive $2,500.
A total of 15 anglers will get paid every hour, making this a fun and rewarding experience throughout the day. These hourly payouts add up to over a quarter million dollars!
Exact Weight Prize – Hit It Just Right!
There’s also a special cash reward if you catch a bass that weighs exactly 3.00, 4.00, or 5.00 pounds. Each day, the first person to bring in a bass of one of these exact weights will win $5,000. That’s a total of $45,000 just for hitting the right number!
If no one catches a bass with the exact weight on any day, don’t worry – the prize money will still be given away during the closing ceremony through random draws.
