    • When, November 6-8, 2024
    • Where, Grand Lake O’ the Cherokee Tulsa, Oklahoma

More information will be provided when we get closer to the date, i.e. hotels, events, etc.

We will be reaching out to the Anglers and Co-Anglers that are eligible for Early Entry Codes in the very near future to confirm that you will use the codes. If the codes go unused, they are gone and it would be a missed opportunity for someone that could possibly live out their dream and go to the “Dance”, the Bassmaster Classic. Also, if you do register and cannot make the tournament, that spot is lost and not transferable.
