The Salt Water Bass Anglers or SWBA as most anglers know it, is the largest fishing tournament series on the west coast.  Southern California’s top saltwater bass anglers compete in a year-long tournament series called “The Race for the Cup” in which they compete to catch the 5 heaviest bass per 2 man team.  The bass can  include Calico Bass, Sand Bass, and Spotted Bay Bass in order to earn points at each event.  The team with the most points at the end of the year is awarded the coveted Angler of the Year Award.
