Dickies Arena and the Bassmaster Classic…

[rb]

Nah, trying to get from Norman to Charlotte in the afternoons is flat out miserable. Putting in at Blythe at the bottom of the lake is your closest bet but half of the lanes are usually closed due to water levels. If you put in at a decent ramp you are looking at a 1 hour drive with no traffic, which isn't realistic with the hell on earth that is I77. It is an extremely populated area and it seems like from 3pm-7pm the traffic is at a standstill on 77.

As much as I would love to see a classic held in Charlotte, it would have just as many problems as Fort Worth with distances to venues/lake. Realistically I think Raleigh could work. Not only work, but become one of the new favorite destinations for fans and anglers.

It wouldn’t be that bad. They get police escort and they can hit the toll lanes

KGB was on fire on Sunday. They had a constant line.

One thing I should have done was take advantage of the Gill booth sale. I regretted it instantly when we left.

All of this blowhard non-sense from some one who wasn't there. AHAHAHHAHA

He stole others points, made them his, and I'm supposed to agree?

Only one statement I agree with, MLF anglers stole the show. KVD, Wheeler, DC, and several others had lines for days. Bill Dance had the longest lines and they cut folks off or else they would still be there.

I'm guessing it was easier for guys not fishing the event to interact with the fans a lot more than for the guys that were on the water. Makes sense in that regard.

Heard him on a Podcast where BASS helped him with archival footage.

Well, that's where he retired from. We all know he's BASS through and through. AHAHAHAH

He and Rick Clunn and many other also fished the old FLW tour too.....

I don't remember the hate between FLW & BASS like MLF & BASS.

Great insight, fellas

[BigFishSteve]

Were there vendors there with candy, fudge and those warm candied nuts? Any jewelry, replacement windows or signing up for free gifts/raffles?

[Bass Cat Boats]

Very few of those booths were there Steve.
