Welcome to Valero's REEL UNITED Big Bass Tournament benefiting the United Way of Mid & South Jefferson County!
This event began in 2018 and has grown each year with the Friday Angler's Welcome featuring dinner, pre-tournament meeting, door prizes, games, live music, and a lot of fun. REEL UNITED has become the type of event that brings people from across the state and neighboring states to Lake Sam Rayburn for a weekend of fun in the tall Texas pines at the shores of the lake.
This year we are continuing a Big Bass Tournament with hourly payouts and many more benefits.
