Renegade Tournaments sponsored the annual Grayson County Chamber of Commerce Fiddlin' Festival Bass Tournament the weekend of July 21-22 at Rough River Lake.

With a $1,500 first-place guarantee, turnout reached a record 71 boats for the overnight event, and drew participants from both in and out of state. Payouts were given for nine places in addition to Big Fish.

The tournament is always held in conjunction with the Fiddlin' Festival, which is held the third week of July, so mark your calendars for next year's tournament when the dates will be July 19 & 20.

The Chamber would like to thank Sherbert and Linda Van Meter, owners of Renegade Marine and Outdoor Center and Leitchfield Exterminating, for their continued support and generosity on behalf of the Chamber. Renegade Tournament circuit sponsors include Tracker Marine, Pro Craft Boats, and Mercury Motors.
