B.A.S.S. was
founded by Ray
Scott in 1968 in
Alabama.
Since its very
beginning BASS
has been active
in local, state
and national
conservation
issues. Many of
our original goals
were directed toward
protection of our natural resources. All
were established prior to the time the
Clean Water, Clean Air, and Endangered
Species acts were passed by Congress
and before most of America's fisheries
management scientists had even
acknowledged that black bass could be
over harvested and/or stockpiled by
practicing catch-and-release strategies.
Since 1968, groups of bass fishermen
throughout the United States and the
world have joined to create BASS
chapters with one common goal — to
learn how to become better bass
fishermen. This is just one of the many
benefits the BASS Federation Nation
offers its more than 2,800 clubs and
50,000 members.
Realizing that a collection of chapters
could accomplish more and have a
stronger voice on issues that affect the
future and preservation of bass fishing,
BASS decided to unite them. In 1972,
BASS installed 19 state federations and
so began our BASS Federation program.
There are currently 51 federations in the
U.S., Canada, Mexico, Italy, Japan,
South Africa and Zimbabwe. The
Arkansas Bass Federation is one of the
51 federations.

Arkansas Tournament Fishing met up with the Arkansas B.A.S.S. Federation Nation on Lake Dardanelle for their
annual Six-Man Team Championship on Sept. 18-19. The weather held out but the waters where muddy and high
due to hard rains just days before. The turnout was an amazing 40 clubs and each angler was determined to land
the winning bag. Our video crew followed them out on the water and found it tough to find anglers hooking up on
day one and even harder on day two. By the end of the tournament over 340 fish where weighed in tipping the
scale at 772.98 lbs all together. Thats an average weight of 19.32 lbs per team!
