What's the Better Half Tour?

Established for male/female bass angling teams, the Better Half Tour is a competitive, family-friendly bass fishing tournament circuit. We have fathers & daughters, husbands & wives, best friends, neighbors, and even brothers and sisters fishing with us! Join BHT in 2025 and see why our teams love fishing these events. Check the 2025 schedule & click around our site for more info.

Our 2025 season includes four(4) events at four different NE Ohio fisheries, plus the traditional Better Half Tour Weekend Getaway at Chautauqua Lake, NY – a BassMaster Top 100 lake.

More ways to win! Vic’s $200 Bass Cash returns for 2025, which will be paid at all five(5) qualifying events (boat owner must be registered with BHT). Total Weight Championship for ALL Ohio events. Fish all four OH events to win the 2025 Ohio Total Weight Championship ($250 PLUS entry fees PAID to 2026 BHT tournaments). Big Bass Award at each event. Last place to cash is $100.

Great sponsor prizes at every tournament. Good payout, 1 in 4 teams finish in the money.
