BassMasters Classic Comes To Florida


If you’ve never experienced the excitement of a national championship fishoff, there’s a rare opportunity coming close by as the CITGO BassMasters Classic, the granddaddy of tournament fishing, comes to Lake Toho Feb. 24-26. (Like most major sports events these days, B.A.S.S. has sold title sponsorship, thus it’s now the “CITGO’’ BassMasters Classic.) The feel of these tournaments is much like a NASCAR event, with factory teams, flashy tow vehicles and standing room only at the weigh-ins as the pros compete for enough money to allow them a year-long vacation afterward. Visit www.bassmaster.com for details—and watch this site as the Classic draws closer.

Looking forward to the Bassmasters Classic. I’ve watched it for years so it should be really cool to see it up close.
I would venture to guess we may see some tournament records. Late February is prime spawning time although some fish will be in a post spawn pattern. Either way expect lots of fish to be caught with good size. This is going to be huge!
