Mission: Hero Bass Fishing Derby - Newton Lake

This season we are going to raise the stakes. We will be recording every derby and at the end of the season, there will be two 1st place gifts being presented to the best overall Hero and best overall boater. So the more events you participate in, the more your chances are to win.

This is a monthly fishing derby with awards being given to teams for several categories at each event. We pair each Hero (non-boater Veteran/Active Duty Armed Forces & First Responder) with a volunteer boater. Each team will consist of two anglers per boat. All teams are to launch at 0600 and return by 1300. Weigh-ins will follow with each team releasing their catch immediately after.
