Best tournament of the year!

Best tournament of the year! A must sign up, worth every penny!

More Than Just a Fishing Tournament!

I've fished the Eco Fishing Shop Big Bass 250 for three years now, and I can honestly say there isn't another tournament quite like it! The competition is exciting, but what really makes this event special is the camaraderie among the anglers, the friendships, and the overall atmosphere.

And let's talk about the giveaways, they are absolutely INSANE! The amount of prizes and opportunities to win makes this event an incredible experience, regardless of where you finish.

Eco Fishing Shop does an outstanding job putting this event together. It's more than just a fishing tournament; it's an experience every kayak angler should have at least once. I look forward to it every year and highly recommend it!

12 hrs

Would be awesome but I live 12 hrs away. I wish south TX had something like this.

Put it on your Calanders

This is an amazing event that is a must fish for any kayak angler. I have fished it every year since it first started. Awesome venue, amazing door prizes, and large payouts. Well ran and organized.

Everything first class

Had a great time at the BB250! It starts with Eco Fishing shop and their team, but the participants, cash and prizes, giveaways, the banquet, and the lake, everything was first class! I’ll be back every time you put on a tournament.

I didn’t do so well in the tournament so I get 2 stars for my performance. Ha

It was a great experience it was my first

It was a great experience it was my first tournament. I really enjoy it the people were great

Fun first kayak tournament!

Was a great event in my eyes. Staff was kind and welcoming, the post tournament dinner and awards ceremony was a great time! Shared a table with fun people from Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, and Minnesota. Was great to meet a bunch of fellow fish heads. Will definitely be back for another.

Big Bass 250 Review

Being my first year attending, I thought the overall event went well. The only thing I would change would be a little bit longer prefishing on Friday. I understand the check in process takes a bit longer.

It was awesome!

BEST KAYAK TOUNEY IN AMERICA

You won't regret doing this. Best around with great people and prizes.

Best event and even Better giveaways

This was my first big bass event and as long as Eco fishing is holding the event I will be there. The cash prize for 1 fish is crazy along with the insane giveaways as the award ceremony!!!

Big Time Event

Well ran tournament, the awards ceremony was one of the best I have ever been to! Jonathan Dominguez went above and beyond to do an early morning board check to accommodate my late arrival. I look forward to attending in the years to come.

My first 250

I thought that it was well ran, thought out and worth coming back to every year.
The only bone I have to pick is with the awards presentation. Several anglers (including myself) voiced the opinion that we would like more time given in presenting the awards to the top 10 and especially, the big bass. A little more drama, a little more build up and questions asked to the top places on their day and such was needed.
I understand it's easy to just push through everything because there is a lot to get to with the raffle and all but it kind of ended anticlimactically due to the above reasons. Other than that, well done.

First Class Tournament!

If you only fish one tournament in 2024, better put the Big Bash 250 on the top of the list. The Tournament Directors run a first class event with incredible paybacks. Even if you don’t “cash a check”, the raffles are unheard of. I mean where else do you see thousands of dollars in prizes PLUS they gave away 6 kayaks!
See you there next year!

Best ever

It's a great event, one I looked forward to each year. Eco shops guys are very welcoming. Food is great and the prizes are amazing. Sucks having to wait a whole year for the
next lol. One in the spring also would be great to divide the wait time.

Big bass 250

Wow where do I start eco went above and beyond to bring so many vendors and amazing giveaways the brotherhood of kayak anglers was the best part so cool to meet anglers from across the country and what a venue with outstanding food and friendship and Johnathan Dominguez and Travis Randall are so kind and friendly and just put so much into the event and every day in the shop we're so fortunate to have them at a wimb notice to help fix something or great advice I really appreciate everything thanks so much looking forward to 2024!!!

One of my favorites

Would be great if you guys could find a discount on lodging. Maybe make it a 2 day event

Biggest and best tournament around

This tournament is absolutely amazing. Year in and year out. It is very well ran, there are amazing prizes for winners and piles of great door prizes even if you dont win. The post tournament banquet has great food and is always a good time to meet and greet with friends and some awesome people in the industry. This was my second year fishing it and will be back for sure. Put some faces to the great guys and gals at Eco Fishing Shop! 10/10

250

Best tourney of the year… well organized
