We look forward to providing their anglers with our wide range of soft plastic baits, buzz baits and jig heads to catch more fish across the great state of Alabama,” said President Tammy Foshee.

When you work with Big Bite Baits, you are working with a family that understands the fishing industry because they live and breathe everything fishing and we are excited to have them on board for 2019,” said ABT Program Director Kay Donaldson.

The 2019 ABTTS will be held on eleven of the lakes of the Alabama Bass Trail beginning February 16, 2019. Sanctioned by BASS (Bass Anglers Sportsman Society), the ABTTS contains two divisions: North and South. Each division is made up of five tournaments on five different lakes. The maximum number of boats for each tournament is 225. Teams must fish in all five tournaments in their respective division. Hosted by the Greater Jackson County Chamber of Commerce, the championship tournament is set for October 25-26, 2019, on Lake Guntersville. The winning team of the championship walks away with a fully rigged bass boat valued at $45,000 and there is a $5,000 bonus cash prize for Angler of the Year and $2,500 for runner-up Angler of the Year. According to Donaldson, over $568,000 in cash and prizes will be awarded when the ABT Tournament Series wraps up its season in 2019.
