RAISING THE
STAKES
The Bass Federation National
Championship’s total payout was
$50,000 back in in 2005, but payouts
grew steadily in the subsequent years,
hitting $200,000 in 2015. Due to the
success of the TBF National Semi-
Finals program, started in 2016, that
number almost doubled in 2020,
when the National Championship
paid out more than $380,000 in cash
prizes and awards.
