Kentucky champions, asked and answered
On which Kentucky water does a one-day five-bass title weigh the most?
No dated Kentucky winner with a printed five-bass format is on file yet, so no figure is given.
How many dated Kentucky winners are on file?
Dated Kentucky winners on file: 6, from 2025 and 2026.
How is a Kentucky winning-bag average figured?
Only dated one-day events printed as a five-bass limit count, and each water takes the plain mean of those bags.
Why do catfish totals, musky lengths and multi-day totals stay out of the average?
King Kat totals print no unit, the musky trail scores by length, the Bass Pro Tour counts every scorable bass, and three-bass limits, multi-day totals and releases with no event date measure something other than one dated day of five bass.
Which Kentucky one-day five-bass title is the heaviest on file?
No dated Kentucky winner with a printed five-bass format is on file yet, so no figure is given.
Where were these Kentucky winners read?
MLF Phoenix BFL and Toyota Series releases, B.A.S.S., Student Angler Federation, King Kat and musky trail pages, each linked in its row.
How often does the Kentucky list change?
Once a week, as circuits release fresh standings.
Can I send in a Kentucky winner?
Use the contact page and add a link to the posted standings.
