This list is only from the past few years - we need your help in finding more results from the past.  If you have any old newsletters, printouts of tournament results, old photos, or anything else that we could add to the history of the Nebraska Federation, please e-mail us at admin@nebraskabass.com. Our first goal is to find at the very least, results from the past 10 years, but older results would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for any help you can offer!

Our main goal is to find more tournament results, so we can compile a list of records.  We hope that having a list of records will not only show the accomplishments of our successful anglers and clubs (and even the unsuccessful ones), but motivate new and younger anglers to join the Federation, compete in our tournaments, and have bigger and better goals while competing in our tournaments. B.A.S.S. and the Federation Nation are always pushing for clubs and states to find new members all the time.  This is probably due mostly to the fact that they want more money, but new members (especially a younger generation of new members) will improve the future of the B.A.S.S. Federation in Nebraska, make our tournaments more competitive, and more importantly, pass along the passion of bass fishing we all have to future anglers. The main reason we want to find and preserve the history of our past tournaments is to make future tournaments even better.

This is a very short list of tournament winners from the past couple of years. We eventually hope to have more winners shown and possibly even records and lists of highest weight totals, big bass winners, and anything else we can find from the past.   (Click on and to download .pdf file of complete tournament results) YEAR LAKE WINNING ANGLER WEIGHT WINNING CLUB CLUB TOTAL WEIGHT BIG BASS WINNER TOTAL BASS & WEIGHT ANGLERS & CLUBS 2008 Grand Lake, OK April 27th - May 1st, 2008 Jerry Pape F.U.N.
