Alabama Bass Nation Anglers the UNA Tournament had to be postponed/rescheduled. Here is the new tournament information with payouts.

The BASS High School Opens registration is set to begin on December 8th which is this Thursday.

VERY IMPORTANT. Admins and coaches, continue to make sure that you have your rosters in order at least 24 hours before the registration opens. If both anglers are not active (dues paid) on your school/club roster, they will not get in. This is also very important for the ABN events.

These opens are very popular with a max field of 250 so you will need to be ready to register as soon as the link is up at bassmaster.com

Each high school event will also include a field of up to 50 boats for competitors ranging from second to eighth grade as part of the Bassmaster Junior Series. Top 10 juniors from each event will qualify for the Bassmaster Junior National Championship. Junior registration will begin on December 13.

Top 25 in each HS Open event regardless of field size is a direct ticket to the Bassmaster High School National Championship.

Please be prepared with these items:

*Both anglers BASS membership numbers

*Both anglers names as shown on their Bassmaster membership

*Know which tournaments you want to fish registering your most desired event first, then moving on to your next choices.

FLORENCE, Ala. — Will Davis, Jr. said earlier this week that despite difficult fishing on Pickwick Lake, the TNT Fireworks B.A.S.S. Nation Championship was setting up well for him.

Boy, was he right.

Davis, a 30-year-old from Sylacauga, Ala., caught a tournament-best limit of 16-12 during Friday’s final round, including the Big Bass of the tournament – a 5-4 whopper of a smallmouth that anchored his haul — to finish with a three-day total of 43 pounds, 8 ounces and seize a come-from-behind victory at McFarland Park.

“I’m very tired,” Davis said, minutes after hoisting the Bryan J. Kerchal Memorial Trophy and being joined on the Bassmaster stage by family and friends for a joyful, and tearful, celebration.

“I knew this was going to be an absolute grind — and it absolutely was.”

Davis was in second place after both Days 1 and 2, with limits of 13-13 and 12-15 — and on paper, it appeared those catches were effortless. But Pickwick was stingy throughout the week. So tough, that Davis caught only 16 keepers in three days.

He weighed 15 of them, though, making him the only angler in the field of 114 to catch a limit each day.

The work was well worth it. Davis collected a $20,000 cash prize, as well as an invitation to the 2023 Bassmaster Elite Series, including the use of a fully-rigged Nation’s Best boat for the year.

The true prize, however, is a berth in the 2023 Academy Sports + Outdoors Bassmaster Classic, which will be held March 24-26 on the Tennessee River in Knoxville, Tenn.

Davis caught a limit by 8 a.m. Friday, with the 5-4 smallmouth coming at 7:15 a.m. That catch won him an additional $1,000 for Big Bass honors.

Four of Davis’ five bass on Friday came on a Davis Bait Company 1/2-ounce Shaky Fish jig with an XSwim Slim Minnow (albino with chartreuse tail). It’s his go-to lure, one his dad (and best friend) Will Davis, Sr. created and markets online and through retail outlets.

“Without my dad, I wouldn’t be in this position, and I wouldn’t have this trophy,” Davis Jr. said, cradling the hardware named for Kerchal — the only angler to ever qualify for the Classic through the B.A.S.S. Nation and then win the sport’s biggest tournament.

Classic bound! Congratulations Will Davis Jr
