Earlier this month, it was reported that the 2021 tournament had an economic impact of nearly $1 million.
The continued success of the event should not surprise many, considering that Bassmaster Magazine named Lake Fork last summer as its top choice for the 100 Best Bass Lakes of 2021, and it is easy to see why the event is so impactful.
“Lake Fork’s reputation will continue to create a substantial opportunity for businesses in Wood County to benefit,” said Christophe Trahan. “The exposure to millions of people, whether in person or through the media, can be a transformative event for our business communities.
“Having the award-winning Bellamy Brothers only enhances the legacy of the event,” he added.
