Want to put a fully rigged Bassmaster Elite Series tournament boat in your garage — and help get more kids on the water at the same time?
There’s still a chance, but the clock is ticking.
The Ike Foundation is giving anglers an opportunity to win Mike Iaconelli’s fully loaded 2025 Bass Cat Puma through the organization’s Boat Sweepstakes, brought to you by Hoffman’s Exterminating. The boat, valued at more than $100,000, comes equipped just as you’d expect from the longtime Bassmaster Elite Series pro and former Bassmaster Classic champion.
And it could be yours for a $100 donation.
Each $100 tax-deductible donation to The Ike Foundation earns one entry into the sweepstakes. A $500 donation, for example, earns five entries. Proceeds benefit the nonprofit organization’s efforts to introduce more young people to fishing and the outdoors.
The grand prize is Iaconelli’s 2025 Bass Cat Puma powered by a Yamaha V6 V MAX SHO 250. The electronics package includes four Lowrance HDS Pro units — three 12-inch units and one 16-inch unit — along with a Lowrance Ghost trolling motor.
The boat also features a complete Pro-Guide Lithium battery system with three 36-volt and three 12-volt batteries and a charger, dual 8-foot Power-Pole Blades and an 8-inch Atlas jack plate. A HydroWave, Bluewater LED lighting package and electronics mounts are also included in the tournament-ready package.
As impressive as the prize is, the reason behind the sweepstakes is even bigger.
The Ike Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded by Iaconelli and his wife, Becky, works to introduce children to fishing and the outdoors while providing fishing equipment, opportunities and college scholarships to young anglers across the country.
The sweepstakes gives bass fishing fans an opportunity to support that mission while potentially taking home a boat that’s spent its life competing at the highest level of professional bass fishing.
Entries close Aug. 31, and the winner will be drawn live Sept. 1.
So, if you’ve ever wondered what Iaconelli’s Elite Series rig would look like sitting in your driveway, there’s still time to find out.
No purchase is necessary. Complete sweepstakes rules and entry information are available through The Ike Foundation. Enter To Win: www.theikefoundation.org
