Bassmaster Classic

well by now most of us have made our picks and predictions, but the real question is who is gonna go to the classic? we are leaving bright and early thursday morning to drive down to shreveport, anyone else gonna go?

I have got a tourney Saturday in Jackson. I am thinking about hitching a ride up there, and then having my wife pick me up after the tourney and heading over for the Sunday weigh-in. Man it is tempting. Jackon-Shreveport, maybe 3 hours if my wife drives.

i went last year but my friend is going this year... thats a heck of a long drive.... this is the kid that got to fish with Byron Velvick and is going down there to hang out with him.... he might get to ride with one of the pros.... he prefished the Red River with Byron........ to put the icing on top he is going to pick up his new boat ( an 18ft progator 1999)

C-rig, I'm jealous, you and Britney have a good time and be safe.

P.S. let Britney carry the money, the expo will have alot of good deals on baits, rods and reels that YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT.

Yep, i'll be there seeing how I don't even have to leave the state.

Sorry but the classic is no longer the classic. It's more like the AFC or NFC Championship. And moving it to February in the deep south just to catch bigger sacks of pre-spawn bass to set "records" doesn't excite me especially with their horrible coverage. Kind of like changing the Championship game to all passing, no running, and limiting the number of defesive backs allowed so that an all time scoring record will be set. Count me out.

Wife shot me down on the Classic idea. You got a good point 3d. Everywhere you look, excess is the click.

Sorry C-rig, didn't mean to highjack. I'd love to go to one to see the equipment and tackle. Never got to any of the ones on the James River back in the 80's.
