Were there any weather delays at take off this morning? Looked really bad up that way around 6am. Yes, bad storms with lots of lightning. Had a two hour delay and killed the morning bite for most of them.

In the pre tournament press releases, BASS explained that in anticipation of hot weather, they were weighing the fish at the lake. Anglers brought a couple fish to the stage for photo ops. But I believe on the last day, the weight-in will be closer to normal because there are fewer anglers to go through.
Now, if they all brought the catches in and many fish died, we'd be complaining about that. Yep tff'ers are never satisfied what whiney little witches some can be, we should all just be happy its here in the d/fw area and enjoy the experience, or those can go back to their needle point.

They all cried about it being a summer classic and how hauling fish is gonna kill the lake, then TPWD & BASS does something to help ease the concerns and now its folks arent showing up because of the weigh-in. Wonder what's to complain about next?!?

I noticed in several pictures from the staging areas that they had oxygen tanks in the seats with lines going to the live wells. Seems like they've done an excellent job on fish care from my outside view looking in.

Agree with “it was more of a ceremony”. We were there Saturday. Was it packed out? No. Was there a good crowd? Absolutely. Great show.

After reading all the classic threads and realizing how many grumpy [censored]
people live in DFW is it surprising? Lol well said. Yup, lol. I went to expo yesterday for a bit. It may never be here again and I may never get to go again. I thought it was pretty cool. Alot goes on in summer, you have the race, people vacation, kids sports, etc. Glad I spent a couple hours. I think maybe the weigh in is hurt a little by the live coverage, basstrak etc cause you already know the score. It was starting when i left but those railhead beers were calling me. I agree it was hurt by the coverage, if they would keep basstrakk secret I think they would have had better attendance, I think the expo did well but it was dissapointing turnout for the weigh in. When your there it always looks more crowded than it really is, I've been to races like that thinking it was a really good turn out then you see the stands on TV later and realize it wasn't that well attended, thats exactly how the weigh in was yesterday.

No there wasn't. I think the expo will be looked as somewhat of a success but the fox broadcast and weigh-in as somewhat disappointing in quality and attendance as in June. Its a shame they couldn't come to the lake in the spring when it would have shown out better but the expo that time of year probably wouldn't have been as well attended, at least this wasn't the disaster the TTBC was on Ray Roberts.

We had sixty days of rain in the spring, I’d say BASS was very fortunate with the timing.

Is it just me, or does it look like the arena where they’re holding the weigh in, it’s just not that well attended. I’m beginning to think that the Classic is becoming more of a buyers flea market spectacle than a well attended Bass Tournament.
That said, is having a weigh in really that important anymore? Is that where they get those flat billed caps , flip flops, and baggy butt shorts???? Whoops,almost for got those tournament shirts!!!!
I would agree with you , but then we would both be WRONG !!!!!

It was more of a ceremony, a photo op for the anglers, and an opportunity to talk about sponsors than it was a weigh-in. It lacked excitement and enthusiasm, though there was an element of surprise in the last 10 minutes. I'm sure there was some sort of time restraint.
I think the attendance was disappointing, but tomorrow is the big one, so we'll see.
Attendance looks worse today. Time for them to change to catch weigh release, keep the weights secret and crown the champ at expo, you would have the same # of people show up.

I don't think you have a full understanding about this Expo. I was there start to end every day of it and have worked a bunch of Classic Expos. I took a picture from front door inside lobby at 9:20 this morning. People are packed in like sardines waiting to get I at 10:00 when it opened. I could tell you some crazy good sales figures I saw the past 3 day. Today by far was the most attended Expo on a Sunday I have been too. It was a madhouse.
