Smallmouth King Bass Tournament in Sevierville, Tennessee
The annual Smallmouth King Bass Tournament is back in Sevierville, Tennessee on June 1 & 2, 2024, organized by the Sevierville Chamber of Commerce. Anglers are gearing up to showcase their skills on the renowned bass waters of Sevierville in this exclusive catch-photograph-release event focusing solely on smallmouth bass.
Hosted along the picturesque Little Pigeon River and its tributaries, this exciting two-day tournament promises a thrilling experience with the spring runs of migrating bass bringing vibrant life to the waters. Anglers will have the freedom to fish from the shore, wade into the river, or even compete from their kayaks.
In this competition, the winners of Sevierville's Smallmouth King Bass Tournament will be determined based on the total length of smallmouth bass exceeding 12 inches that they catch over the two days. With real-time updates on the tournament progress, competitors and spectators will be kept engaged and eager to see the standings as anglers log their catches. On the final day, prizes will be awarded to the top three anglers, in addition to a special recognition for the angler who lands the Biggest Fish.
“This event will rapidly become one of the top catch-photograph-release tournaments in the nation because of Sevierville's world-class smallmouth bass population. No one can touch Sevierville's rivers for smallmouth bass fishing,” says tournament director and local fishing guide Greg Ward. “The Little Pigeon River in Sevierville is hands-down the best river smallmouth bass fishing in the nation.”
Anglers may register and pre-pay now for the upcoming tournament. Space is limited.
