2007 - 1st Annual
1st Annual Big ASS BASS Tournament - Late May 2007
Winners- Team Jurkbald
Biggest fish - Deezballz Size- 5 lbs 14 oz.
This was the very first year of the Big ASS BASS Fishing Tournament at Angler's Paradise in Libral Missouri. Team Browson Vs. Team Jurkbald. While Kuta had fished the event site once, AssMaster Dave was the veteran. Midway through the first day Team Jurkbald hadn't scored anything, were already bickering and Kuta had lost his favorite rod and reel within the first five minutes of competition. It wasn't looking good for Team Jurkbald. Team Browson already had twenty or twenty five in the boat by the time Jurkbald landed their first fish. The first year was a two day tournament with five scoring catagories. After the first day Jurkbald was down two - zero and had to have a big second day to win.
Day 2 - After employing the "you snore loud as hell and keep everyone up all night so at least we have the only well rested person" strategy, Team Jurkbald was tired and dragging ass the final day. However despite all the odds stacked against them...DeezNutz bailed out team Jurkbald with the tournament's biggest fish mid way through the second day. Fishing in the main channel in close proximity to Team Browson, the eventual champs hooked into a big one. Originally thought to be a snag once it was identified Team Jurkbald sprang into action. Kuta grabbed the net and DeezNutz knew he only had to get it near the boat. It was a good fight but everyone knew if you got it within 5 feet of
the boat it was over...WAS FRIGGIN AWESOME!!
Team Browson had the opportunity to come back and win with a good size Large Mouth Bass near the end of the day but the pressure was too much and Holmes let the "deal sealer" off the hook.
While Team Jurkbald won the weekend Team Browson killed in numbers. Needless to say Team Browson was looking forward to a rematch and claimed the win to be a fluke.
