Back from South Carolina after taking in the Bassmasters Classic. If you've never been you need to try to get down to see it. I spent two days marshaling again this time with Greg Hackney and Gerald Swindle. What a riot.
Morning blastoff...
Both Gman and Hack were awesome to watch for the day!
Full day reports are :

Gerald Swindle http://www.rjnbirdeesoutdooradventures. ... d-swindle/
Any questions on anything about the Classic fire away!

I had already read your posts as soon as you posted them but man, what a cool experience.
Makes me think I need to get out to one of these one day. Being a Marshal would be cool but I'd be alright with just the expo.

Awesome write ups! I could feel the tension, emotions from these guys. Just need lots more pics.

Anyone who follows BASS or simply fishes for Bass should go to this, be warned though. You may never miss another one!lape0019 wrote:I had already read your posts as soon as you posted them but man, what a cool experience.

Wonderful play by play description on your other threads. Felt like I was there (well kinda) and could sense that as professional as the two people you marshaled were and yet just down to earth good people no matter what happened and what was at stake. Would be nice to get more of this by pro's to see how they break a body of water down long before they take their first cast.

I've been in 4 different boats at the Classic now and everyone of them were great guys.Still Chasing wrote:Wonderful play by play description on your other threads.

They break down water no differently than the top guys who fish tournaments do around here. A little bit of historical research, pinpointing what the fish will be doing at time of event as in pre or post spawn, and some time on the water.
Glad you guys enjoyed the reports!
