Alabama Tornado Relief Team Bass Tourney kicks off June 18 on Lake Guntersville
Proceeds to benefit Alabama residents affected by recent tornado damage
As a result of the recent tornado damage, the Alabama Bass Federation Inc., and Bassontheline.com have partnered to organize the Alabama Tornado Relief Team Bass Tournament, scheduled to take place June 18 at Bucky Howe Park on Lake Guntersville.
The tournament will commence at “safe light” and a three-fish limit will be enforced. Entry fees are $150 per team and $100 of each entry will go to the people of Alabama who have been affected by the recent tornado damage.
Due to the recent disastrous weather occurrences, the great people of Alabama have been subjected to horrendous hardships. Hardships no one should have to weather alone. We, the fishing community, are attempting to help our neighbors through this time of need with this benefit tournament. We are asking for your participation to help some of the rural areas of Alabama try to get back to normal. It is our goal to get at least 150 teams in this tournament. We would consider it an honor and a blessing to raise our limit to 200. If you have any water, clothing, or food you want to contribute please bring it to add to our donations to these hard hit areas. We are also working on some things to thank you, our participants and donors, for your time and contributions.
