THE SAND DUNES ARE CALLING — BAM PRO-AM HITS POTHOLES
Welcome to the wild and unpredictable waters of Potholes Reservoir, where sand dunes, hidden backwaters, and giant largemouth set the stage for one of the most exciting stops on the BAM Pro-Am Tour!
This isn’t your average bass tournament—this is a strategic chess match through a maze of cover and current, where locals have the edge and newcomers have something to prove. With big bags, bold moves, and high stakes on the line, who will crack the Potholes code and rise to the top?
Desert heat. Shallow-water power fishing. Bass that can make or break your season.
This is the BAM Pro-Am—Potholes style.
