One Million Dollar 1st Prize in US Amateur Fishing Tournament 
US Source: fishncanada 2/8/2021

It is currently being touted as “The Grandest Tournament in Fishing History”.

Never has there been such a large, single prize value for an amateur fishing tournament than in the new Bass Pro Shops US open National Bass Fishing Amateur Team Championships.
The organizers are calling it the Ultimate Owners Appreciation Event (see below) which offers over $4 million in cash and prizes.

If that is not enough, how does a $1 million dollar first prize for a fishing tournament sound?

We say WOW, however, such a great prize really does not surprise us as we feel that Bass are the Money Fish!
 

The BPS US Open starts with a series of regional qualifying rounds on lakes throughout the United States commencing this Spring. The three-day championship will have 350, two-man teams competing on Table Rock Lake.

And to answer your next question as to if Canadians can enter, YES… see below.
WHO IS CLASSED AS AN AMATEUR?

According to the tournament website, an amateur is someone who:
Has not competed as a boater/pro in an MLF Major or BASS Elite Series event within the last two years immediately preceding the BPO event being entered.
Anglers have not ever paid an entry fee greater than $2,500.
Anglers that do not have lifetime earnings greater than $100,000.
