Reported as the worst classic weather day ever. Remember that Classics were in different seasons in the past.

Ever? I was watching the classic yearbook on the 76 classic I think it was on the VA coast. 50 mph winds. Is today worse than that? Just curious.

Dude that's perfect fishing weather; a minor front today followed by:

Saturday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 65. West wind between 5 and 14 mph.

Saturday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 38. West wind between 5 and 8 mph becoming calm.

Sunday: Partly sunny, with a high near 59. Northeast wind around 6 mph becoming calm.

I fished in Rita and those winds, you can hide from wind, but you can't hide from cold.    You can get under bridges if they are there to get out of sleet and rain, but cold fingers makes miserable fishing unless your catching often to take your mind off it.

And yes, I'd gladly trade spots with any one of them.

Low pressure triggers activity & cloudy conditions give the bass an advantage over their prey.

As proof of that, Bobby Lane had a five-bass limit in his boat in the first 45 minutes.

Pictures are up.

Reported that a wide range of baits is working.

Which just re-iterates what Catt said about the low pressure and the fish are turned on, and add some wind.

They said a spoon was being used but no names tied to any baits,     I'm betting one of my picks is using that spoon.    Kelly Jordan popped into the top 10.

Where Tak?  my other pick?

STUPID QUESTION ALERT!!!!!

Why are they not televising all the days of the classic???

ajr :-?

TBG thanks for the link....nothing better than this blog...lots of guessing no photos/short videos etc. KILLING ME!!!!

Ike moved up to 2nd with 19 pounds.

I'm gonna say it!!!!

Love him or hate him Iaconelli is great for bass fishing!!!! I know alot of people here can't stand him, but fishing wise and marketing wise (this is a business remember!!) the guy is the FANtastic!!!

I don't know about going out and buying all of his sponsors' gear, but he did just land a final kicker to place him in an unofficial tie for first place.  Well, I've got to go now, I'm going to the Toyota dealership to get a truck big enough to haul my new Yamaha powered BasCat, and then stop by Dick's Sporting Goods to stock it with some berkely plastics and diawa reels.

You are absolutely right!  I got to meet him out here at the California Delta last year and he truly is a class act.  He does way more for the sport than a lot of the guys who have been fishing a lot longer.  When it comes to Ike I say let the past go and recognize the talent.

Preach....grab me some stuff please!!!! ;D ;D

Go to the live arena cam. Its on.

They're showing the WBT weighin until 330.

According to the blog, Ike is unoffically in the lead with 22-0

I missed a lot in 4 hours, some big changes. GO IKE!!!

Also remember how amazingly accurate these non-boaters are. Last year day 2 Biffle was in the led by these guesses by 3 pounds, in reality he was in 9th 6 pounds back.

Weigh-in is on as i type this right now.  http://sports.espn.go.com/outdoors/tournaments/live/index

Where did Ike come from??? I missed a ton.  Good thing i got him on my fantasy team.

man this video is running like crap  > I wish I could be watching this on espn live right now!!!!!

I'm a ________ dumb____. I could have been there. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________.

Mine is running just like it was on TV.  Earlier I had some issues though.
