The Bass Federation, FLW and the Student Angler Federation announced recently that the Grand Lake Association and Grove, Okla., will host the TBF Federation National Championship for a third consecutive year. Additionally, the TBF/FLW High School Fishing National Championship will be added to the event.
Both events will be held on Grand Lake O' the Cherokees April 23-26, 2015, launching out of Wolf Creek Park in Grove, and will be held in conjunction with the FLW Tour event being held just across the state line on Beaver Lake in Rogers, Ark.
"Without a doubt there is not a better facility to host these events in the country today," said TBF national president Robert Cartlidge. "It was by the anglers' choice from our survey information from past years that led us back to Grand Lake for an unprecedented third year. Grand Lake is an awesome fishery with something for every type of angler, so it truly is anyone's event to win."
The TBF National Champion boater and co-angler will advance to the 2015 Forrest Wood Cup. The winning boater also will receive the $100,000 "Living the Dream" prize package to include a prize check, fully paid entry fees on the 2016 FLW Tour as a pro, travel expense stipends for each event and use of a "Living the Dream" wrapped Chevy truck and Ranger boat for the year. The top co-angler will receive fully paid entry fees into the Rayovac FLW Series division of choice.
