Mike Muncey Tourney set for next weekend

The 21st Annual Mike Muncey Memorial Big Fish Bass Tournament will be held Saturday, Aug. 26, at Ragland Bottom on Center Hill Lake.

The tournament will be held from 6 p.m. until 8 a.m., and all participants must pre-register and receive a ticket to participate.

Entry fee is $20 per person for the Big Fish competition, and $20 per person for the Poundage Pot. Both contests will have a 100 percent payback, with first place receiving 50 percent of the pot, second place taking 30 percent and third place receiving 20 percent. Fishermen must enter the Big Fish tournament to purchase a Poundage Pot ticket.

Anglers may launch from any ramp on Center Hill, but cannot begin fishing until 6 p.m. The weight of their fish will be posted as they come in, and they must have their ticket stub, acquired at pre-registration, to weigh their fish. Artificial bait only must be used, and a polygraph test will be given to all winners.

Tickets are being sold at the following locations: Horseshoe Bend Marina, Hillcrest Market, Sparta Sporting Goods, Outdoor Shop, Paul?s Sporting Goods, Taylor?s Corner and Real Life Taxidermy.
