Meeting agenda items of importance:

• New Website - www.kybassnation.com
• We will also be developing a new FaceBook page.  Be on the lookout.
• Updates/changes from B.A.S.S.
  • BNC auto birth for Kentucky now is at 1.  This will be our State Champion!
  • The State Team concept partially returns.  Kentucky will send 10 boater codes/10 non-boater codes to the BASS Southern Regional tournament.  This Kentucky boater field and non-boater field will compete against your other 9 cohorts.  Top weight from each boater/non-boater will earn a slot to BNC.  This will give Kentucky 2 guaranteed slots.
  • Codes now have greater value.  The KBN will distribute the codes per the following:
    • Top 3 positions in AOY. (3)  Positions 2-8 at state Championship. (7) = 10 boater/10 non-boaters
  • Other slots can be won by anyone finishing in the top 10 at our Southern Regional tournament.  Why we might as well take the whole top 10 slots!  Go Kentucky!
• Contact any KBN officer if you have any questions.  There are other changes at the regionals we can discuss at our meetings.  
• So, come on board and make 2026 KBN the best year ever!  We have a great schedule and payouts at our qualifiers.  An awesome state championship with excellent payback. There's never been a better time to fish with the KBN.  Hope to see you at Cumberland on March 21st!
