Thought I would show you a glimpse of the "behind the scenes" at the Bassmaster Classic:

Timmy Horton donated his hair to the Locks of Love program.  Here's the shot just before they started cutting:

Here's after:

BTW - we have confirmed there are many pros coming to this site to read the articles and visit the forums.  Although they may not be posting, they are here frequently.  A few today even made comments about things that were posted this morning!

One of you guys need to loan Timmy Horton a good warm hat, even though he does look kinda warm inside.  Anybody know if Locks of Love takes grey hair?  I've always wanted an excuse to grow a ponytail.  I would also save money on haircuts.  8-)

Wondered what has been the "classic moment thus far for you guys.

What it meeting a certain pro, fishing with a pro, a picture. ?????

My eyes were opened to effective and efficient prefising.

My "WOW" moment was definitely the Z9 Nitro. I am still amazed and surprised.

Yeah, I would have loved to experience that. Sounds like you two are getting a great treat!

My wow moment has something to do with a conversation between Ike and I.  He approached me with an idea that would involve he and I at a later date on a project he's working on.  I don't want to go into details yet, because it's just an idea at the moment, but it would be very cool if it happens.

Had another 'wow' moment w/Mark Zona.  He came up to us and said, "Hey guys, if there's anything I can do to help you guys, anything, you just let me know."  That was totally unsolicited.  I'm still stunned.

Here's a shot of some of the boats before blast off this morning, followed by a few Ike pictures.  There's better pictures and video of Ike, but I can't post them right now because they'd give away what he's doing.  I took 117 pictures today.

I'm glad we have our own coverage team on site to give us some details after ya'll get back.

I would love to have some of that info on effective prefishing.

I swear, Glenn looks as though he's a kid at Christmas opening presents.    What a "Classic" smile.   No pun intended.

Fluke, thanks for the appetizers, can't wait for the full meal deal.

Thanks for sharing.  Those guys are definately the most approacable athletes and personalities in sports today.
