SMH bass champs flushed this championship down the toilet. Idk why they can't stick to regular lakes..... instead they have picked rivers 4 years or somthing. Maybe I'm in the minority here but the red river stinks after fishing the Great Lakes we have here in Texas.

It's not a cake walk to weigh sacks multiple days! Pretty smart honestly

Red River is a lot of fun when you figure it out for that day or time frame. Pay close attention to the lock times and water releases. We found the influx of moving water turned on the fish

IT SUCKS! I loved the river before it flooded, spent a lot of time on it before and could catch 10lbs t least every time on it, since flood I am lucky to catch 5 lbs a dy, the fish are just not there, there is fish still there but few and far between! Y'all will see!

You just thought Sabine was tough.... at least you could go 4 different directions over 50 miles. I have a feeling the red will fish small

So is the hydrilla and the hyacinth gone? There is basically no vegetation on the river. Maybe one day it will come back but for now it is pretty pitiful.

It doesn't matter were any tournament trail goes people will always complain! If you don't want to fish it don't go but most people that complain don't even fish! I like it it's a challenge and a even playing field!

I do fish Champs and totally disagree with it being a level playing field. I'm 10 hours away from there. Many Toledo Bend guys are from the area of the tourney. They have a much greater chance of finding out about some little backwater that's holding fish. Now make it off limits and no info from now until official practice days and that will level playing field.

Maybe I'm in the minority here but the red river stinks after fishing the Great Lakes we have here in Texas. They could pick Falcon, Fork, Toledo Bend or Rayburn during their peaks and it still wouldn't make everyone happy. You have to remember they stated all along they won't pick any body of water that any region has fished during that season so it pretty much takes 90% of the top lakes in Texas off the list. Then you have to have a lake large enough to host 300 boats where a chamber, city, etc are willing to pay to have Bass Champs come to town. Yes their goal is to make money. So for lakes it really only leaves Conroe (probably spent their budget on the Classic) Lewisville (would have loved this pick but lots of guys from the South and East wouldn't show up) Texoma (Again, hardly anyone outside of the North region would show) Richland Chambers (this lake sucks in my opinion) Ivie (no water) So you only have 5 lakes all with big reasons to not have the championship there. The Red River has always been a blast despite the fact that we've never done very well there from a fishing stand point. There's so much to do. We have a group of 3 teams that travel to the tourneys together and we love going to the Red because it's a blast. We thought the Sabine was the opposite because of the lack of cool places to stay and things to do around that area. Plus in my opinion I hated having to run 50 miles to find decent fish. Anyways, really looking forward to the challenge on the Red. And I know we are going to have a great time as well. If it's not your cup of tea then stay home and make some videos.

It will be a challenge for sure and the team who wins will deserve it, and new guys might find something different that works, I just need to adapt too the changes, good luck guys and Thanks for choosing Shreveport
