“In light of the recent and very serious financial crisis facing our country, several of our major sponsors and investors have been forced to cut back on their support of HBC-3, thus creating a tremendous financial hardship for our tournament operations.
We are very well aware that this current crisis is affecting nearly everyone and it will undoubtedly force some of our HBC anglers to withdraw from HBC-3. Because of this, we would no longer have a full field or a sufficient waiting list to allow us to guarantee $50,000 to the winner.
Rather than proceed with an event that would pay back less than $50,000 to the winner, or present a tournament that is anything less than a first class event for which we are known, the Board of Directors of Heavyweight Bass Classic, LLC have voted to postpone HBC-3 to a later date, when this current financial crisis has subsided and our economy rebounds and stabilizes”
