Texas Oilman's Bass Invitational (TOBI) is a non-profit organization primarily made up of members who work in, or are retired from, the exploration, production and/or servicing of oil and gas wells throughout the Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast.
In 2006, the tournament was exceptionally held at Lake Sam Rayburn because of the unfavorable water levels at Toledo Bend.
Proceeds from the event were primarily contributed to Texas Children's Hospital's Renal Unit.
The money raised supports patient care and research in pediatric kidney and urinary tract diseases and disorders.
The contributions comprise the proceeds of tournament entry fees – paid by usually more than 500 fishermen – and sponsorships.
