Grand Lodge of F. & A. M. of Alabama presents
the third annual Hooked on Decatur team bass fishing tournament on March 29,
2014, at Ingalls Harbor in Decatur. Proceeds from the tournament benefit the
Wounded Warrior Project. As a special thank you to veterans, a boat captain and
entry fee will be provided for any wounded veteran that would like to fish in
the tournament.
The tournament is open to all anglers who possess a current
Alabama State Freshwater Fishing License. Anglers 16 years or younger (as of
tournament date) will fish with either a parent or approved angler. Only
largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass will be weighed, and the official
tournament bag limit will be five fish per team. The size of the tournament
field will be a minimum of 100 boats. The top five winners receive trophies and
cash prizes with first place taking $2,000 in cash.
Ingalls Harbor, located at 802 Wilson Street NW in Decatur, will host the take-offs and weigh-ins. Check-in begins at 5 a.m. and weigh-in begins at 2 p.m. Food and beverages will be served to participants at the conclusion of the event.
The tournament is sponsored by Rising Sun Lodge #29, The Stem
& Stein Wine Cellar and Bar, and DRS Technologies. Team entry fee is $100
per boat with a $20 per team big bass option (100% payback). Proceeds benefit
the Wounded Warrior Project.
According to tournament organizers, the tournament has grown from
20 boats at the first tournament to 48 boats and 96 fishermen registered for
last year’s event. Fifteen wounded veterans from Alabama, Tennessee, and
Georgia competed in last year’s tournament and approximately $16,000 was
donated to the Wounded Warrior Project, a Jacksonville, Fla., organization that
provides services and programs to injured veterans.
