Event Details
Old Kinderhook and Bassing Bob are hosting the 4th Annual Missouri Invitational Fish and Golf Pro/Am Tournament, a unique fishing and golf competition that provides amateur fisherman with the opportunity to fish and golf with Pro Fisherman at Lake of the Ozarks. The  Pro/Am team will compete for a guaranteed pot of $30,000.00+ with $12,000.00+ awarded to the winning team and many other pay-outs and prizes for golf and fishing. In 2017, the total pot after the auction was $54,000.00 and the winning team of Jeremy Lawyer and John Hewkin won $20,000.00. The top 7 teams will get paid and $1,000 to the amateur with the biggest bass.

The competition will be held at Old Kinderhook starting with a happy hour, sit down dinner, live auction, pairings, rules review and rubbing elbows with the Pros on Tuesday, November 13th starting at 6:00 p.m. The competition will kick-off on Wednesday at 8:00a.m. fishing with your Pro. Followed by BBQ cook-out Wednesday night at Old Kinderhook. On Thursday November 15th, you will play 18 holes of scramble golf with your fishing pro and a randomly assigned golf pro. Thursday night is on your own to enjoy many of the Lake of the Ozarks restaurants or just hang around the resort and relax. On Friday, November 16th you will fish with your Pro, take off at 8:00 with the final weigh-in at 3:30. The awards ceremony will follow immediately after the weigh-in.

Amateur fisherman will be able to participate in the competition and all of the scheduled events for  a fee of $1,000.00. The $1,000.00 registration fee will include Tuesday nights happy hour/dinner/auction, two days of fishing with a pro fisherman and 18 holes of golf with your fishing pro and a designated golf pro. Breakfast will be provided each day outside the lodge and sandwiches and refreshments at each fishing weigh-in.

Amateur fisherman will be paired with a fishing pro for the three days of the competition. Pairings will be finalized on Tuesday evening November 13th, after the live auction (see auction details) The additional money generated from the auctions will be added to the pot for the competition. Those that choose not participate in the auction will be randomly assigned a fishing Pro.

The auction includes a live and silent auction. The live auction bidding will begin at $250.00. Amateurs are only bidding to secure the highest bid to secure their draft pick number. Their will be 12 rounds of bidding and then the highest bidder from each of the 12 rounds will select their pro. As an example, the bidding auction will start at $250.00, the highest bidder during that bidding period will be able to select their choice of remaining pro fisherman. After the live auction pairings are complete, the remaining pros will be auctioned off through the silent auction. After the silent  auction, remaining pros and co-anglers will be randomly assigned. Last years auction added an additional $23,000.00 to the pot.


Pro Fisherman Participants
Currently there are many pro fisherman committed to the event, including National FLW and BASS  Champions, Marcus Sykora, Dion Hibdon, and Brain Maloney. Additional Pro spots are being filled on an invitation only basis, based on proven national, regional and local tournament success. Local  Pros include Wayne Fitzpatrick, James Dill, Jack Uxa, Terry Blankenship, Pros with proven local  and regional tournament success, such as Roger Fitzpatrick, Dennis Berehorst, Mark Weise, etc. and  regional and national Pros, Mike McClelland, James Watson, Casey Scanlon, Jeremy Lawyer, Terry Bolton, Brent Algeo, Dan Morehead, Stacy King and more. BassingBob is also launching our “Invitation Only” campaign this summer to many well-known Pro fishermen that have expressed interest in participating in this event, including 2016 Bassmaster Classic winner Edwin Evers, Jason Christie, Jacob Wheeler, Chris Lane, Kevin Short and others.

Scoring and Pay-Out
The payout for the event will be determined by an accumulated points system. The total points accumulated from the two days of fishing total weight and 18 holes of scramble golf. Golf will be scored at 1/2 pound for a par, 1-1/2 pound for a birdie and 3 pounds for an eagle, with a 2 putt maximum format per hole. Don’t worry about your golfing skills as each team will be paired with a golf Pro. The golf Pro assignments will be random. As there will be two teams playing the same holes, the golf Pros will switch teams after the front 9 or back 9 holes are complete. A total of 7 places will be paid. The final pay-out amounts will be determined based on the incremental money collected from the auction. Cash or prizes will be provided for the biggest team bass, day 1 fishing top weight, day 2 fishing top weight, the best golf score, closest to the pin and the longest drive.
