Birmingham, Alabama - How will the best bass fishermen in the world compete in the biggest bass-fishing tournament of the year, the Bassmaster Classic - the World Series of bass fishing? With $1/2-million in cash going to the winner along with the prestige and the honor of being named the best of the best, how will the anglers handle the pressure, the crowd and the fishing conditions and still catch bass?
At the 2009 Bassmaster Classic, held in Shreveport, Louisiana, you can get up-close-and-personal with four of the nation's top anglers - Kevin VanDam of Kalamazoo, MI, Greg Hackney of Gonzalez, LA, Mark Davis of Mount Ida, AR, and Shaw Grigsby of Gainesville, FL - and learn how they're fishing the oldest and the biggest bass tournament in the nation. Each day, after these four pros come off the water, they'll be interviewed by media professionals. They'll tell you how and where they've fished, what tackle they've used, and how they plan to fish the next day. Each night, daily reports will be posted on the Strike King web page at http://www.strikeking.com/bassmaster/, beginning on February 20, 2009. You'll be one of the first to know how these fishermen have fished, and how the Classic is progressing, as well as be able to share in the anglers' victories and frustrations.
Never before has anyone been able to receive daily information this fast from a bass-fishing tournament. Too, you'll be able to see photos of the pros with their daily catches before they go to the weigh-in. For the inside scoop on the Bassmaster Classic from four of the nation's top pros before anyone else, read Strike King's "Daily Reports from the Bassmaster Classic" on the company's web page from February 20-22, 2009.
