2007 Sooner Run Bass Tournament June 21-24

U.S. Bass Pros Take On Grand Lake

The Sooner Run Bass Tournament , slated for June 21-24 at Grand Lake, will be the seventh stop in the Bassmaster Elite 100 Series, the high profile fishing league known to draw the world's top anglers to tournament destinations all across the country.

The fact that a Bassmaster Elite Series tournament is taking place on Grand Lake is not just a coincidence.

"Grand Lake ranks among the highest in the state in bass population and angling success," said Jim Burroughs, northeast regions fisheries supervisor for the Wildlife Department.

The Bassmaster Elite Series includes 11 events across the country, and an $11 million prize purse. According to bassmaster.com, the series is bass fishing's "most competitive and lucrative league."

Thousands of people are expected to attend the family-friendly event. Both the daily launches and weigh-ins are free and open to the public at North Beach Development Area (61201 East 270 Road).

Each day the launch begins at 5:50 a.m., and weigh-ins take place at 3 p.m. Spectators will also have a chance to get angler autographs, participate in a kids casting contest and shop for Bassmaster merchandise. The newly-designed North Beach Development Area is located east of Wolf Creek just north of Grove.

Additionally, fans can catch all the action on television at 9 a.m. Saturday, July 7 on ESPN2.
