I was in some tackle manufacturers meetings in San Antonio last fall. That was the rumor at that meeting. I think it could happen. I won't say it will happen. But, I hope it does.

BASS guys spent a day on Canyon Lake the day before the tackle meetings.

San Antonio would be a great venue.

It has been on Lay Lake several times which is only 12,000 acres. I just can't see them going much smaller than that.

Best chance for Texas would be Conroe or Ray Roberts.

I vaguely remember in 1996, Bassmasters had a top 100 tournament on Lake Minnetonka in MInnesota. It's 14,000 acres but if you look at the lake from an aerial view, it's really more like several lakes joined together (unfortunately by long no-wake zones) rather than one big giant body of water. 50 boats can disappear fairly well on 8,000 acres. On the flip side, I'm guessing these pros will have an easier time finding a needle in a smaller haystack too.

I would think if they are gonna do a classic in Texas it would be on Sam Rayburn


I've been a trucker for yrs so haven't been able to fish as much as i'd like , but i'm trying to learn. My son goes with me , so that is cool,he is trying to learn also, we both want to become better fisherman.

The lake doesn't matter, its the venue to host the activities associated with the sponsors/vendors that matters.

The amount of MONEY that a City PAYS the BASS Organization is crucial. Sabine is presented by Stark. I could see it possibly going to Shreveport with the support of the Bosier City Chamber of Commerce backed by the Casino's. Now days its all about the MONEY. But it must be true that they are going to San Antonio because "I saw it on the Internet"! roflmao
