Summary
$3.25 million is on the line in World Bass Enterprises' inaugural "The Champions," with two fans set to join 50 top pros in a fall bass tournament.
The Oct. 28-Nov. 1 event at Old Hickory Lake in Hendersonville, Tennessee, will pay $1.25 million to the winner — the biggest first prize in the sport's history.
The field will draw the top 25 anglers from the Bassmaster Elite Series and 25 from Major League Fishing's Bass Pro Tour, reflecting WBE's push for a single world-championship-style showdown.
Fans can enter for the two amateur spots through a $50 pay-per-view purchase or a no-purchase mail-in option, part of a broader festival-style event with concerts, expos and prize giveaways.
