New Bassmaster Classic qualifier Sean Alvarez is the first to hail from Vermont.
Now, only Wyoming, North Dakota, Hawaii and Alaska have yet to send qualifiers to a Classic, this year set for Feb. 18-20 on the Louisiana Delta out of New Orleans.
From the Vermont town of Rutland, Alvarez qualified for the 2011 Classic through the BASS Federation Nation Championship, which wrapped up Friday, Oct. 29, in Shreveport-Bossier City, La., after a three-day competition on the Red River.
To claim his Classic spot, Alvarez trumped the other eight anglers within his Eastern Division.
