SAN ANTONIO, TX (September 29, 2023) – Harlan Thomas from Top 10 ranked Murray State University won the Bass Pro Shops Big Bass Bash presented by Berkley with a bass weighing 6.31 pounds.  All total, that big bass earned Thomas well over $9,000 in prizes and contingencies.  One of those contingency bonuses that he received was from the Yamaha ACA Contingency Bonus Program.  By being the highest-finishing angler to have the Yamaha logo on his jersey and competing from a boat equipped with a Yamaha Outboard, Thomas earned an additional $1,000.

Yamaha is proud to partner with the Association of Collegiate Anglers to promote the Yamaha/ACA Contingency Bonus Program.  Designed to reward anglers for wearing the Yamaha logo and running Yamaha Outboards, the Contingency Bonus Program was eligible to be awarded at two ACA events so far, as well as the upcoming AFTCO Collegiate Bass Open at Lake Dardanelle.

To qualify for the Contingency Bonus Program, anglers must have the red corporate Yamaha logo on their jersey, with an additional bonus built in for anglers who run a Yamaha Outboard.

To qualify for the $1,000 payout, be the winning team (or highest finishing eligible team) at that particular event while displaying the Yamaha logo on their jersey and running a Yamaha Outboard.
