$10,000 BOUNTY FOR RECORD SMALLMOUTH BASS
The Elephant Butte, New Mexico Chamber of Commerce has thrown down the gauntlet by offering a $10,000 reward for anyone who beats the existing state record smallmouth bass with a fish caught at Elephant Butte Reservoir between May 1 and September 30, 2022. There are several other caveats, but for the most part the deal is pretty straightforward. For complete details, please visit ebnmchamber.org.
