Rod Salser Memorial Tournament

The Florida Bass Paddlers are proud to present the Rod "Gaterbait" Salser Kayak Bass Challenge Memorial Tournament.



This tournament has been created to raise money for the Moffitt Cancer Center, which was the facility that helped Rod during his battle with cancer with no cost to him or his family. Let us remember our great friend and help give back to the center that made him comfortable during his final days with us. This tournament is being held August 17th on Lake Okeechobee, but anglers may also fish the rim canal. To make it more fun, ANY fish caught in the lake or canal will count.
