The drive from Grove, OK to Tulsa, OK is longer than the drive from Many, LA to Shreveport, LA. They need to have one at Toledo within the next 5 years.

Not at Amistad, the city won't put up the funds for it.

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.
If it were at ray rob where would weigh in be?


The new indoor stadium being built at the Dallas Headquarters of the Tollway. Total time Jordan park to Frisco about 30 minutes.....

Money can't buy you happiness, but it can rent you something so damn close you'll never be able to tell the difference.

They fished Eagle Mountain. I don't remember what the tournament was called but they had to qualify for it and they had 50 fishing it. After days 1 and 2 they cut it down to 10 and fished Benbrook. Of course it's no classic but if EM can hold 50 I think there are plenty of others that can. This was back around 2006 or 07.

Where ever and if ever it were to take place in Texas; and I can't beleive they've gone this long without having a classic here, it will have to be an area with access to a good lake and a pretty good size arena.........I'd be happy if they did it in Shreveport again. Monroe, Louisana has hosted several Pro level events. They have an arena really close to the Ouachita River that would contain a Classic crowd. Anywhere in Texas with the afformentioned capabilitlies would be fine.

Why does the lake have to be massive for 50 boats? I'd like to see what the pros can do on Canyon, multiple species of Bass, can fish different styles with different types of structure, deep timber, steep banks, bluff walls, flats, creek channels, has good grass, good chunk rock, dirty or clear water, it sets up well IMO. I just made myself want to go there this weekend haha

People scoff and laugh about Canyon but why not?

In the same breath, it may not have enough water by then for the ramps, 11 foot low now.

No keep them away. Then people would realize it's actually a fairly good lake. Those boys would all be ontop of each other like at Sabine haha

Why not conroe. TTBC Used to fish it every year with 50 pros. It could be a slugfest in February with those guys. Reliant arena is within a short drive for weigh in.

Lake Grapevine. BPS right down the street. Surely Southlake will put up the coin.
