Lynn
Allen leads Day 1 - 25th Annual McDonald’s Big
Bass Splash on Toledo Bend, LA
Story & Photo by
Patty Lenderman, Lakecaster Managing Editor
It's an exciting
weekend on Toledo Bend at Cypress Bend Marina as
the McDonald’s Big Bass Splash celebrates its 25th
year. $440,000 is guaranteed in cash and
prizes over the course of three days.
Never a dull moment between the classic antics
of CEO Bob Sealy, coupled with fishing pro
personality plus Gerald Swindle, Sealy’s “you
ain’t seen nothin’ yet!” takes on all new
meaning.
Louisiana anglers
flexed their muscle, dominating many of hourly
winners. Twelve places are paid each hour,
and each day an extra $5,000 is awarded to the
first 3.00 and 4.00 exact weight bass
registered. Anglers will enjoy $155,400 in
hourly paybacks and the top five anglers at the
conclusion on Sunday will receive additional
prize packages, including the Sportsman’s
Package that will be awarded to the overall
winner. It will include a 2011 Dodge
Truck, Triton Bass Boat powered by Mercury,
equipped with Minn Kota, Lowrance, Navionics and
Power Pole.
As always, people
come from all over the world to participate in
the McDonald’s Big Bass Splash.
Registration continues thru Saturday for anyone
who would like to fish any or all of the
remaining days.
There will be an
Elimination Draw Boat that all contestants are
eligible to win, as well as an “Early Bird”
entry drawing for a $200 Academy gift
certificate. Spectators can win big too!
There will be an Open Drawing for anyone present
to win a new Stealth ATV.
The scales open at
6am each day, and Patrick Gill of Pitkin LA
christened them as the first angler to weigh
with a 4.95 lb bass, immediately followed by
Ricky Benitez of Mandeville, LA who won the
first $5,000 prize with his 4.00 lb catch.
Mike Crawford of
Glenmora, LA lead the first hour with 5.50 lbs.
The leader board took a shift the second hour as
John Deon weighed in his 8.56 lb bass.
Robert Robinson of Scott, LA won the last $5,000
prize of the day weighing a 3.00 exact weight
bass during the 9-10:00 hour.
Lynn Allen raised
the top bar during the 10-11:00 hour bringing in
a 9.72 lb bass – the biggest catch of his life.
The final two hours of the day the rest of the
leader board
KICKS 105 stayed
on site and on the air to keep the anglers
informed throughout the day as to what was
happening at the tournament site. This is
an amateur only competition, and is played much
like a poker game. You’ve got to know when
to hold ‘em and know when to weigh ‘em.
Each angler can only weigh one fish per hour,
five fish per day.
