Tournament Monitoring Program
The Department has been summarizing tournament catches of black bass since 1977. These data have been provided by event organizers or club officers primarily on a voluntary basis. Fisheries biologists use the data to understand relative abundances and length frequencies of bass in these impoundments. This information can be used in addition to their standard sampling data to help evaluate management activities.
The Department encourages tournament organizers to voluntarily provide their tournament results. Please download an online copy of the "Kansas Bass Tournament Log" to record your results and submit them to the tournament monitoring coordinator.
To submit your "Kansas Bass Tournament Log," you may do one of the following:
1. Mail it to Attn: Tournament Coordinator, Emporia Survey and Research Office, PO Box 1525, Emporia KS 66801
2. Fax it to (620) 342-6248 or
3. Leave a message on "Contact the tournament monitoring coordinator" to receive an email address to send your results as an email attachment.
