We tournament bass fisherman are a proud fraternity. We like to brag. We like to rub it in when we manage to beat our friends in tournament competition. But, more than anything, we care for one another.

Recently we came together to benefit the family of Walt Adams, who was taken much too early.

And now, tournament anglers are being called upon to help out when we are needed most.

In this case, all bass anglers are requested to put their deer rifles down for a Saturday and come together for a tournament to benefit Jasper Fud McCormick.

Jasper has been dealt a tough blow but we can be there for him!  He's only 5 years old and he's been diagnosed with leukemia.  I can't imagine the struggles his parents are now having to battle through, but as a fishing community, we can take some of the financial burdens off of them through this tournament.

It's scheduled for Saturday, November 6 at Earl G. Williamson Park on Caddo Lake.  Only a 3-fish limit with an entry fee of $130 per 2-man team.

And even if you won't be available to fish the tournament, you can help out by purchasing a meal or just make a monetary donation.

First place will pay $1,500, 2nd is $1,000, 3rd is $750, 4th $500 and Big Bass will also pay $500.  There will also be lots of other prizes including guns, tackle and gift cards.

For any additional information just contact Tournament Director, Vince Richards at 318-402-5426.

LOOK: Here are the best lake towns to live in

Many of the included towns jump out at the casual observer as popular summer-rental spots--the Ozarks' Branson, Missouri, or Arizona's Lake Havasu--it might surprise you to dive deeper into some quality-of-life offerings beyond the beach and vacation homes. You'll likely pick up some knowledge from a wide range of Americana: one of the last remaining 1950s-style drive-ins in the Midwest; a Florida town that started as a Civil War veteran retirement area; an island boasting some of the country's top public schools and wealth-earners right in the middle of a lake between Seattle and Bellevue; and even a California town containing much more than Johnny Cash's prison blues.
