Classic is and will always be the Superbowl of bass fishing for fans.
No place else can someone like Darold or a weekend guy go have a swing at his dream.
Just remember, most of those guys wouldn't be fishing the Elites if MLF hadn't expanded professional fishing, allowing a bunch of unknown hammers to take the next step up. It's good for the sport. Three tours now instead of two. Everyone wins, especially the fans. True story and if my mom did not marry dad I wouldn't be here either. But here I am none the less.

I just went to Bassmaster website and there is 5 guys on the home page and for the life of me, I don't know any of them. I'm sure they are all up and coming fishermen. I checked basscheck or what ever they call it and saw that Cox was leading it.I know him from Rayburn Open but not many of the rest. After 40+ years of belonging to BASS, I didn't renew this year. Probably will miss the mag. I went through all of the qualifiers yesterday and I knew of exactly 16 of them. Of course I have not followed it as closely as I have in years past either.

Expo took over the tournament in terms of excitement. It’s more of a bass heads flea market on steroids with a tournament thrown in. Even was when the names were still in it.

I can tell you from being here at this one the energy and buzz is as strong as any I have been to the Expo has more vendors than ever before and its electric around here. I don't think it has fallen a bit. Stillthe Super Bowl of bass fishing. Take the rose glasses off, I can tell watching the live stream they have lost a bunch of sponsors. There is a battle going on in the industry and competition can be good but not sure anyone is winning.
