The Don Baskin Classic Team Bass Tournament was started in memory of the late

Don Baskin of Antlers. Don Baskin was an avid fisher who’s love of the sport prompted his grandson, Eric Baskin, to start a tournament in his honor. What started out as small tournament, has quickly grown to be a well attended and successful tournament, with no signs of slowing down.
