Anglers looking to make it big in the Kenora Bass International (KBI). Kenora Bass International is a catch and release tournament that takes place annually on Lake of the Woods. First established in 1988 there were 43 teams competing. Today, there are over 125 team entries. This annual bass tournament brings thousands of avid anglers to the local area to compete for tens of thousands of dollars in prize money. The tournament takes place in August but registration fills early and fast.
