The Bassmasters Classic - Close Don't Count

Monday February 13, 2012
The Bassmasters Classic is arguably the most important tournament in bass fishing. It is being held this year on Louisianan's Red River February 24 - 26, 2012.

I often wonder how my life and fishing would have been different if I had qualified way back then.

This article has links to several more articles about the Classic and to BASS pages that will keep you updated.
