Skeeter Real Money Program Rewards Alabama Angler with $10,000 Bonus at Bass Trail Championship

The Skeeter Real Money program continues to deliver big rewards for loyal anglers, including Tony Harvey of Rogersville, Ala., who earned a $10,000 bonus during the Alabama Bass Trail Championship on Wheeler Lake, Oct. 17–18. Harvey and his partner, Donny Beck, won the two-day tournament and took home $50,000 in total prize money. Harvey’s additional $10,000 Real Money payout brought their total winnings to $60,000, with $35,000 going to Harvey alone.

“I’ve been part of the Real Money program for more than 10 years, and it’s the best-paying program out there,” said Harvey. “I’ve won Real Money four or five times, and for $100 a year, the chance to earn $10,000 can’t be beat. I’ll be a Skeeter customer for life. You need dependable equipment when you’re making long runs on the water, and my Skeeter boats powered by Yamaha outboards never let me down.”

The Skeeter Real Money program rewards anglers who fish sanctioned tournaments in eligible Skeeter® boats powered by Yamaha outboards.
