Striped Bass Event at Green Pond to Benefit Charity

Observer Reports

The Striped Bass Challenge (SBC) will bring more than 250 anglers to Green Pond Landing and Events Center Saturday, for the 2023 Winter Classic, one of the four Open/Qualifier tournaments of the Trophy Series Championship Trail.

The event, in cooperation with the Anderson Civic Center, Visit Anderson and the Second Harvest Food Bank, will help provide food for those in need.

“The SBC wants to put on a premier fishing tournament and the folks we work with here make that possible,” said Thomas Richardson. “Since our first event over 8 years ago the anglers have provided over 1,000,000 meals for the local communities. These folks have a great chance to win big prizes at the captain’s dinner and at the boat ramp.  We’re excited to be able to do this again and to work with all these great people including the folks from the SC DNR

The SBC’s goal is to support the community near Anderson by raising enough food and cash donations so that Second Harvest Food Bank can provide 100,000 meals.

Anglers will compete cash and prizes which include first place $10,000, $4,000 Big Fish, gifts cards for youth, and another $1000 for the lady angler whose team places the highest in the tournament.
