Fishing the WildSide’s Chip Leer will be returning to the Sturgeon Bay Open Bass Tournament as the event host and emcee. It is easy to see why over 200 teams compete in this annual tournament. Sure, they all want to win the new Ranger Boat as first place prize. Yet, our guess is it is a rare opportunity to catch numbers great lake smallmouth bass of mammoth proportions. Check out the website and see the size of these fish. You just may find yourself scheduling a trip to the SBOBT!
