Give Xtreme Truck And Trailer a LIKE 👍!!! Like, share, invite a friend for your chance to win the best undercoating in OH for your vehicle! Even if you don’t win, you should still prolly go get your vehicle undercoated - this stuff is super legit! That cold weather isn’t far away and now is the time to protect your vehicle before the salt 🧂 destroys everything!

It’s was a fantastic season with very minimal issues - kudos to each competitor/team that participated this year - it shows a lot about your character! There were some mega bags and mega bass that hit our scales this year …. along with a great deal of fish stories of the ones that got away - we are truly blessed to be able to call PLX home!

Just a couple reminders:
- Championship is September 19th
- $80/team
- start time is 7
- be there early (I’m sure we will be ready to register teams by 5:30am, but I’ll keep everyone posted)
- you must have fished 6 events for the year to qualify - let us know if you have any questions
- it’s a normal 5-fish limit (this is for Bokar & Knobel lol)

We can’t give enough thanks to all of these Bad (B)ass sponsors! They do so much for us! So if you need a boat, tackle, batteries, construction work, a pontoon rental on the redneck Rivera of PLX, your boat worked on, etc. - get ahold of any of these companies and you’ll be in great hands! Check them out, give them a LIKE 👍, and give your business to them - they are truly the ones that make this circuit Ohios premier weeknight tournament series … you won’t find better payouts & incentives anywhere for a 4-5 hour tourney with a $40 entry fee !
