BASS ARE READY.... ARE YOU?
BIG FISH
BIG OPPORTUNITIES
Each year, the Tri-Lakes Big Bass Festival draws 300+ anglers from across the region to fish De Queen, Gillham, and Dierks lakes—bringing energy, visitors, and real economic impact to Sevier County.
The excitement builds all day, but it all comes down to one moment:
the heaviest fish on each lake earns a shot at $10,000 in the Reel the Weight finale.
