Tackle Warehouse Invitational to be held on the James River

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) -- The fifth Major League Fishing Tackle Warehouse Invitational will be held on the James River this June.

The invitational tournament, hosted by Richmond Region Tourism, will be held on the James from June 20 to 22, featuring professional bass anglers competing for a grand prize of around $115,000.

Each day, the anglers will hit the river and hope to catch their five biggest bass -- the winner is decided based on the heaviest three-day cumulative total.

Participants will have their pick of several different locations along the river, including its fields of spatterdock, cypress trees, docks, rip rap, brush and submerged vegetation.
