COLLINS $10K CHAMPIONSHIP - AUG 8-9
The Eastern NC Bass Challenge held our final regular season tournament on the Roanoke River this past Saturday. 107 teams traveled to Plymouth, NC to compete for our Neuse Sports Shop 1st place prize of $3,300!
The Roanoke River once again proved what a great fishery it is as anglers brought many big bass to the Bass Challenge scales on Saturday afternoon. However, none were bigger than the 5 bass limit father and son team Roger and Dylan Thomas brought to the scales. They weighed in 5 fish for 21.87 pounds! Their bag included several bass that were over 5 pounds.
After the tournament, Roger talked about their day: “We got on a frog bite early and ended up catching 2 key bites later in the day on wind-blown points. It was a day I will never forget, getting to do it with my son.”
Roger and Dylan were awarded our Neuse Sports Shop 1st Place prize of $3,300!
The Bass Challenge guarantees a minimum of $3,000 to 1st place at every tournament this year thanks to Neuse Sports Shop! Our final tournament of 2024 will be our Championship event in August on the Chowan River. In order to compete in our Championship event anglers must have met the qualification rule, which is competing in 3 Eastern NC Bass Challenge tournaments in 2024.
The Bass Challenge paid cash prizes to our top 17 teams in this event. It took 14.67 pounds to finish inside the Bass Challenge money line. We also paid prizes for our top 3 big fish winners. A $400 prize for the Greenville Toyota 1st place big fish, a $100 cash prize for our 2nd big fish thanks to Dereks Boxes, and our 3rd big fish winners were awarded a free t-shirt from Striker Apparel.
* Anglers inside the top 10 are eligible for Bonus Boat Contingency prizes if they meet the boat requirements.Â
