The KNUE + Raising Cane’s Big Bass Bash Returns to Lake Palestine Resort in 2016

The Big Bass Bash is ready for another big year on Lake Palestine!

We're back and geared up for another great year for the Big Bass Bash, and we hope you'll join us!

The 2016 KNUE + Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers Big Bass Bash is Saturday, April 9, and Sunday, April 10, at Lake Palestine Resort in Frankston, Texas. We're back with huge hourly payouts, and we still have that top prize of $10,000 for the biggest bass caught of the weekend.

This year's winner will follow 2015 winner Eric Thompson (8.45 pounds), of Flint, 2014 champion Bobby Curnutt (8.46 pounds), of Kilgore, and 2013 winner Dave Triplett (8.62 pounds), of Chandler.

We are looking for anglers to take part in the fourth edition of the Big Bass Bash, and we’re going to hand out more than $40,000 in prize money throughout the weekend.

The cost to compete is $125 to fish for one day and $175 to fish both. Junior anglers age 16 and under can fish one day for $75 or both for $90 We’ll hand out prize money to hourly weigh-in winners, exact weight fish and the big money to the anglers who catch the top five biggest fish of the weekend.

Here are the overall payouts:

• First place: $10,000
• Second place: $2,000
• Third place: $1,500
• Fourth place: $1,250
• Fifth place: $1,000
