COLLINS $10K CHAMPIONSHIP - AUG 8-9
Beginning in 2025, the NC Bass Challenge is proud to be affiliated with BASS and the Bassmaster Team Championship. Each year we look forward to being able to send our top anglers to this National Championship Tournament. The Bassmaster Team Championship is the most prestigious team bass tournament trail in the United States.
The NC Bass Challenge is allowed to send one team to the Bassmaster Team Championship for every 25 teams that register with us this season. The top teams are determined by our Super 6 Points Championship Standings.
This means if 200 teams compete with us in a given year, we will send our top 8 teams to the Bassmaster Team Championship which generally takes place in December every year.
The 2025 Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Team Championship was held on Lake Hartwell on December 3-6, 2025. The winner of this event earned a spot in the 2026 Bassmaster Classic! The location for the 2026 Team Championship has not yet been announced.
You can earn eligibility to compete in this event by being one of our top teams in the Super 6 Points Championship. We will send 1 team for every 25 teams that compete with us in 2026.
If you obtain eligibility to compete in this event, you will compete in a 4 day tournament that could earn you the opportunity to fish in the nations biggest bass tournament, the Bassmaster Classic.
The team portion of the event will be held the first 2 days of the event, with the winning duo not only claiming a cash prize, but also leading the charge into the Bassmaster Classic Fish-Off section of the event, which will take place the final 2 days of the event.
The Top 3 teams through Day 2 — six anglers in all — will have their weights zeroed and then compete individually in the Fish-Off. The competitor with the heaviest two-day total of the group will earn the final spot in the Bassmaster Classic.
It’s an exciting opportunity and gives Bass Challenge anglers something to shoot for all season long.
Bassmaster will announce rules, entry fees, and official practice days later in 2026. You can visit this link to obtain more info.
