Graham-Mebane Lake sponsors a Season-Long Big Bass Tournament (BBT). Join the tournament anytime during the season. Fish as often as you like each month; the heaviest Largemouth Bass caught and weighed in by an entrant during the current month wins that month. There will be seven monthly winners, with the exception of a tie. Each monthly winner and the Second Chance Tournament winner receive an Annual User Fee Permit ($50- $70 value) valid for one year and qualify for the Fish-Off held in October. The top 3 finishers in the Fish-Off receive monetary prizes: Fish-Off payout is based on 75% of entry fees collected, divided as follows: First Place – 50%, Second Place – 30%, and Third Place – 20%. A tournament entry fee must be paid before catching and weighing a fish; normal lake user fees apply. Big Bass Tournament Fish-Off: Saturday, October 10, 2026 (tentative date) from 8:00am – 3:00pm
