It's going pretty good. I live in Oklahoma City, and couldn't possibly think about being on the water this morning, whew would of been tough. With that being said i really hope Andy Bravence makes a comeback. Yet, Ike is my fave. Let's go IKE!

Home Town Guy - Jason Christie - 18lb sack - he's got a shot.

As the URL might hint, it was not a good day for him.

Wow! That's tough. But, I guess that is about the best attitude one could have.

nice to see ike, EE, and KVD in the top 10. My 3 favorite fisherman. Of the top 10, id like to see EE get the win. But KVD sitting in 4th cant give a lot of confidence to the rest of the field.

I was thinking the exact same thing. KVD dialed in this early usually means bad things for the rest of the field.

So it looks the weigh in shook some up...Ike and Pace are in first after day one.

Day 1 Bassmaster Classic 2013-Grand Lake, Oklahoma

 

A long and cold day on the water with Albert Collins of Nacadoches, TX. Al qualified for the Classic by winning te Bass Weekender Series.

 

Water temps were around 43 at launch but by noon had risen to about 46 degrees.

 

If you haven't seen a Classic launch,  or even an Elite Series launch, it is impressive.

 

There was ice on a lot of the bluffs and docks. Seemed like it never melted.

 

No matter, did you see the impressive weights these guys brought in? Apparently weather, at least cold weather, doesn't bother these fishermen.

 

My man KVD is wright there! He had a strong first day WATCH OUT!
