Entry will be $250 for one or two-man teams - Big Bass Pot is $20 (contributing to BBP is not required) - since this is a fundraising event for the Billy Dyson Foundation, payout will be 70% - we are looking at a $5000 guaranteed 1st place and will confirm that ASAP if we are able to offer

Besides paying out 70% of the entries, each team will get 2 tickets for a prize drawing - there should be some great stuff - 3:16 Lures has committed, I'm providing some Dobyns rods and hopefully Gary will kick in a few more - if you want to contribute product, a guide trip, or something else for the event, please contact me

Additional INFO will continue to be updated on this thread - please post questions

Greatness!!! JP and team Thank you so much for staying after this! I am really looking forward to seeing so many people and honoring my good buddy Billy!

Would love to fish it if I can find a partner😀

Any idea on attendance level for this?

We didn't do an early registration, so not really sure on the number of teams. We do have some nice prizes to award.

If you would like to print an entry form and fill it out before the event, go to: www.billydyson.org/entry_form.pdf

JP should be along tomorrow with pics and official results. Took a bag north of 9lbs to win the $5K. I’d like to compliment JP, Kay, Mark and team for putting on a good inaugural event. Good people doing great things here folks. I’ll definitely be back next year.

Again, thank you to all the anglers, sponsors and everyone involved! Kay Dyson is president for the Billy Dyson Foundation and I know she was excited and grateful to see all the support. I forgot to mention in the other thread that TFF member and moderator Zac Artim set up the corporation for the foundation and we are working on the 501(c)3 status as well. Zac is a tax attorney and we really appreciate his help!
