Dick Hiley St. Jude Bass Classic

The actual event is still several months away but the 28^th annual  Dick Hiley St. Jude Bass Classic in Wabasha is filling up fast.

This one-of-a-kind event takes place on the Mississippi River and celebrates a community of bass anglers from across the Upper Midwest who come together once a year in support of the mission of St. Jude.

It’s the largest charity bass fishing tournament for St. Jude in the country. 

As of last week, 85 teams were already registered—only 15 spots left and $77,000 has already raised for St. Jude (earliest ever!)

The event will be held May 1-3, 2026 and they are giving away a BRAND NEW 2026 Skeeter ZX200, thanks to our incredible presenting sponsors, Yamaha Marine & Skeeter Products, Inc.

Teams who raise $5,000 or more will be entered to win.

You don't even need to catch a fish to have a chance at winning this boat. Winner drawn after weigh-in on May 3^rd.

Don’t wait—secure your spot & make a difference for the kids at St. Jude. Register today: stjude.org/dickhileybassclassic.

Last year, there were 96 teams in the tournament and participants and supporters raised over $1.1 million.
