Professional bass fishing tournament

The Bassmaster Classic (known as the Academy Sports + Outside Bassmaster Classic for sponsorship) is a tournament in the sport of professional bass fishing. It was first held in 1971 on Lake Mead, Nevada. Originally IT was a fall case, (1971-1983) just it switched to a summer event in 1984 and then to a latterly winter event in 2006.

The effect has turned into a three-day spectacle, complete with a theatrical presentation of the weigh-ins and hours of television coverage on FS1 and Fox. The entire event is also streamed springy on Bassmaster.com.

Rick Clunn and Kevin VanDam have each won the event four times. Jordan Lee, Bobby Murray, Hank Parker, George Cochran and Hank Cherry have each won twice.

Ordinal-place money has grown from $10,000 in 1971 to $500,000 in 2006; IT was reduced to $300,000 in 2022.^[1]

Rules and procedures [cut]

The airfield has ranged from 24 to 61 anglers. The 2009 competition included women first. 2022 was the last year for women to tend a specific Classic spot. As in premature years, they now have to earn a post via the Opens operating theatre, characterise for the Bassmaster Elite Series and birth sufficiency success to get ahead a spot to the Classic. The Bassmaster College Serial publication, B.A.S.S. Land and the Team up Title also offer paths to the Classic.

The Bassmaster Classical takes place over three days. Totally Fish are caught under catch-and-release rules, must measure at least 12 inches (or as that state law requires), and essential be active at the metre they are presented for weigh-in operating theater a penalty will be assessed. There is a cut later the bit day, in which only the 25 acme anglers, based on total weight, advance to the third base day. The highest number weight after three days wins the competition.

Contestants can only fish in specific areas at the competition venue. This is usually a lake, simply the 1980 Classical was held on the St. Lawrence River out of Alexandria Bay, NY, the 2005 competition was held at Leash Rivers (Allegheny River and Monongahela River which forms the Ohio River) in Pittsburgh, with some competitors using tributaries much as the Beaver River and Youghiogheny River miles from the confluence. In 2009 and 2022 the Classic ill-used a 100-mile stretch of the Red River in Shreveport, Louisiana. In 2022, the Standard was held on the Louisiana Delta. The Classical locale continues to change from class to year, but tends to revisit prior Classic sites as well.

From its inception to 1976, the Classic was held at a "mystery lake," unknown to competitors until they were alongside an aircraft bound for the site. Founder Ray Scott changed the practice for the 1977 Classic, announcing the site in advance so that fans of the sport could plan ahead to pay heed.
