HIGH RIDGE, MO, September 06, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Don't miss this year's premiere amateur bass fishing tournament, the 2012 Fall Lake of the Ozarks Big Bass Bash, which will be held on October 6th and 7th. Over 200 places will be paid out throughout the weekend, totaling more than $200,000 in cash. Catch the biggest bass of the weekend and walk away with an astounding $61,500 in cash. The Big Bass Bash is for amateurs only. Its unique format allows the weekend angler a chance to win big money like the professionals. Unlike most fishing tournaments which have a team arrangement where prizes are based on total weight, the Big Bass Bash format is distinctive in that it only takes ONE angler just ONE big bass to win!

There is also a children's division for kids 12 and younger, and a $1,000 bonus for the lady who hauls in the biggest bass.
