Below are the results of the D40 tournament held 15 Nov on Kentucky Lake. Apparently the weather man scared a few off but as it was the wet her stayed in the high 40's, only a slight mist part of the day, and the wind was not really all that bad except if you headed toward Paris, just ask Don Perkins. Thanks to the weather man what should have been a full field, based on previous commitments I had received, only turn out to be 12 anglers who didn't let the weather man scare them off. Our next tournament will be 13 Dec on Pickwick Lake launching out of J. P. Coleman State Park.



American Bass Anglers is the largest tournament trail dedicated to the weekend angler. The organization was founded in 1975 and was formed for military bass fisherman and called Military Bass Anglers Association or MBAA for short. These founding bass fishermen were looking for alternatives to the normal recreational activities associated with military bases. Little did they know what it would turn into. The tournament trail was limited to military personal only until the early 90s when non-military anglers were allowed to join. The organization grew more rapidly due to this addition, but there still was a perception among anglers due to its name that the organization was still just for military anglers only
