Former Winners of the Texas State Bass Tournament

Many Texas fishing legends, great competitive rivalries and truly remarkable accomplishments have evolved through the years at the Texas State Bass Tournament. A primary mission of the Texas State Bass Tournament Committee is to preserve the tournament's long-standing history of competition, sportsmanship and achievement on the part of many dedicated and talented Texas anglers. Over the years, the weigh-in ceremonies have been conducted by several different organizations, including many volunteers. As a result, tournament results have been difficult to maintain and archive. The following information summarizes the winners in various divisions over the tournament's fifty-year history. These results have been gathered from multiple sources including weigh-in records, newspaper articles and personal recollections from those who have fished the Tournament.

The goal of the Texas State Bass Tournament Committee is to document and maintain these records for all of the divisions for each year. A special thanks to Earl Golding founder of the Texas State Bass Tournament, formerly with the Waco Tribune-Herald and Bob Hood of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram for their efforts over the years on reporting the tournament results and assisting this task. Without their assistance and commitment to the event, assembling these records would not have been possible. Thank you to the Waco - McLennan County Public Library for providing results archived from the Waco Tribune-Herald.
