The new format and concept on bass fishing, the Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s North American Bass Challenge (NABC) bring together some of the best premier events for anglers everywhere. Multiple events anchored by the historic 31st Annual Sturgeon Bay Open Bass Tournament May 14-15, 2021.
In addition to the same stellar payouts the Sturgeon Bay Open Bass Tournament (SBOBT) has always had, and the all-new and bigger Ranger RT 198 with Mercury 150hp outboard up as the top prize we are happy to announce that because the SBOBT is a Ranger Boat Dealer Trail sponsored event by Pamp’s Outboard, the top eligible team, per the Bass Pro Shops US Open rules, from the SBOBT will advance to the Bass Pro Shop sUS Open and fish for their share of a 1 MILLION dollar payout!
Once again set for its traditional annual weekend after Mother’s Day which is May 14-15 this years event will be held out of Sawyer Park and will continue to feature the aspects anglers have come to expect, including, the same great 90% payback, a portion of every entry fee goes to SBOBT committee charities and conservation projects and of course the new Ranger boat powered by Mercury as the top prize, raffles, prizes, NOW with national television coverage and more!
North American Bass Challenge (NABC) falls under the Federation Angler group of fishing companies with over 40 years of industry expertise.
