ABA - Division 65 - Grand Lake, Director Jon Stewart

08/31/2026

Good Morning ABA 65 Anglers!

ABA District 65 will be holding its two day championship event for 2026 in just over two weeks! The date is Wednesday and Thursday , September 16th and 17th, Grand Lake out of Wolf Creek.

Here are the anglers that fished enough tournaments in this division to be eligible. We could have others from other divisions join as you must fish 4 events (any division).

Kyle Kitts
Brad Cook
Kevin Jackson
Kevin Rich
Jon Stewart
Doug Johnson
Kojak Cook
Gerald Morgan
Jim McGlaughlin
Jeff Gatton
Kendal Keith

Let me know if your not on the list, but fished another division, so I can verify.

If you fished the two day last year, we had lots of good prizes (and we will again this year). Also, Championship and AOY Trophies as well as the cash in the pot ($1200) that will be added to the Payout.

Remember this is double entry fee, double points and double pay plus the pot so if just the 11 eligible anglers fish, and my figures are correct, the payout would be something like this:

1st - $1400
2nd - $700
3rd - $350
4th - $200
Big Bass - $110
50/50 pot - -$110
Adjusted for Trophy costs....

Briefing/Partner Draw (if any co angler sign ups)6:30AM
Takeoff: 7:00 AM
Weigh In: 3:00PM
5 FISH LIMIT, 14"
Please be prompt. Per ABA rules once the Tournament Briefing has started no more entries can be taken.
Entry Fee- $200 cash only at ramp.
$150 - payout
$30 -ABA HQ
$10 - Big Bass
$10 -50/50
plus prizes and trophies.

See you Wednesday the 16th!

Here are the current YTD points for division 65. Remember we count your best 4 plus the two day, double points championship, toward your AOY total..... we have to regular season events left. You must fish 4 events to qualify for the two day. So.....if you've fish two events, you still have a shot at the AOY!

Let me know if you have questions.
