The Taylor County Tourist Commission is sponsering the tournament. The economic impact of competitive sport fishing is significant, with anglers typically visiting tournament lakes and the related communities for many weeks (multiple visits) in preparation for a tournament of this magnitude. Lodging, food, and retail establishments who cater to the competitive sport angler certainly benefit from these repeated visits to our host community. This event will bring over 100 anglers with their families to Taylor County for over a week.
