Tour Series
Ohio B.A.S.S. Nation
April 15, 2023


The Buckeye Kayak Fishing Trail has exclusive rights within Ohio to award angler's entry into the B.A.S.S. Kayak Championship in 2024.
Details of the 2024 tournament likely won't be released until late 2023, but historically it takes place a week prior to the Bassmaster Classic and within close proximity.
Past anglers that earned their spot not only participated in the Kayak Championship but also the festivities surrounding the Bassmaster Classic including weigh-ins, fan festivals, etc.
This is your shot to walk across the Bassmaster Classic stage and accept the trophy for the 2024 B.A.S.S. Kayak Championship!
