First Bassmaster Classic!!!

Back in March I was fortuante to compete in my first Bassmaster Classic, the Superbowl event of professional bass fishing, at Lake Guntersville, Alabama.  

It was an incredible experience and truly a dream come true for me.  I've followed this event since I was a little kid so it was great to compete.  I had a tough tournament, finishing in 31st place but I did manage to catch the big bass of day two with this 7 pounder!

It was awesome to have my whole family attend the event...especially since it was right before this Covid-19 disaster hit.  I'm very thankful that they all made the effort to attend!

The number of spectators and media that attend the Classic is second to none, which really makes it so special to be a part of it.  This was the 50th Classic as well, which was another milestone in the long Bassmaster history.

The day before the tournament all of the anglers participated in "Media Day", which was a lot of fun as well.  Getting some time in with my pal Fat Cat Newton right here.  If you don't follow him on social media, you should...the guy is hilarious!

This was my big bass right after I caught it...It came off the end of a shallow tree on a 1/2 oz Z-Man SlingBladeZ Spinnerbait.
THANK YOU to Bassmaster for putting on a great event!
