South Shore Bass Open 2025

For Hammond firemen Dennis Banik and Daniel Diombala, fishing is more than rods, reels and weigh-ins. It is a way to cast a wider net of good throughout The Region. As the owner and Tournament Director of the South Shore Convention Bass Open, Banik, alongside Deputy Tournament Director Diombala, is steering the tournament into becoming a staple of community pride on the south end of Lake Michigan.
