I'm still waiting on Ray Roberts! I do believe that it could be there one day. So where would weigh in be? It could be at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco or actually by the time another slot opens up it could be at the Cowboys new indoor stadium in Frisco. All of these are within a 45 minute drive from Ray Roberts. I would probably end up being one of the most attended Classic of all time and it would be awesome to see these guys break down Ray Bob in February. I think they would all need to call old Pat Delaney....self proclaimed best Winter Bass Fisherman on Ray Bob Ever!!! Sorry Pat, couldn't resist. Not enough Expo space in Frisco at present. Also, highly doubt they'd roll the dice on an outdoor weigh in. That would be suicide if the weather was bad. Also who's paying the host fee?

I'm still skeptical until I see a press release about it from Bassmaster.

Lone Star Convention Center is way too small... I figured it was, but wasn't sure. That is a long drive from the lake to Reliant, with no easy way to get there, depending on the time of day, even the weekends anymore, it could take 1.5 hrs to get there. Any mention of a host marina?

Deal! For the record, this is one bet I hope I lose.

Conroe would be awesome! I think they would have to take off from the same area the Toyota Bass Classic did, after putting in at the dam.

I hope this is true. I think it would make for a great venue if they can figure out the weigh in.

Anyone in Conroe noticed that they are extending the HOV lane all the way to South 336 in Conroe? Will be open in plenty of time for a March / April Classic. This could easily be blocked off at all entrances south of Conroe and they could run an open lane all the way to downtown Houston. With no I45 traffic it's about 45 minutes to downtown Houston from Conroe.

I heard it was going to be held at either Camelot Belle or Lake Worth.

With no I45 traffic it's about 45 minutes to downtown Houston from Conroe. In theory, that is a great idea. I'm not sure a fishing tournament, that only 5% of the population of Houston is going to know about, will swing enough weight to take away the HOV lane of outbound Houston traffic on a Thursday and a Friday evening.
