Big Bass Association of NJ was started in 2003 by two friends, Rich Donnelly and Vinnie Pier. They wanted to share the sport of bass fishing in NJ in a fun, but competitive way. We are a buddy club, but you can fish alone if you wish. We hold 9 tournaments a year, 8 point tournaments plus a club classic at the end of the season. We fish lakes and reservoirs in North and Central New Jersey. We average 55 members per year and 17 boats per tournament. If you are interested in joining or have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
