Its early, but limits look hard to come by. First 6 to the tanks, 1 limit

I was told they only have 2 still photographers at this event from BASS taking pics for the web site and magazine. No on the water people for this event (except me Saturday - that is if my trailer is fixed - taking the first test drive in a few minutes).

I hope Dave didn't break a bone again?!? There goes my vote! I heard the practice saw a lot of rough water.

[djkimmel]

Uh oh... looks like all of us might be a little high on the winning weights?!?

I see our buddy Scott Taylor got his co-angler limit for a 3 pound average. Friend Toni Bici too!

I don't understand the concept of this "Open," but it's cool to see the big names in there... can anyone fish it as long as they are a B.A.S.S. member?  You will have to excuse the inexperienced question I hope this wasn't the wrong place to ask it.  I have been curious about that ever since this thread began though... Thanks,
Ethan

Yep, Open to everybody with a BASS membership. Top 2 or 3 (on the Northern Open circuit which comprises of 3 tournaments)go to the Classic! That's why you see a lot of big name touring pros fishing with the "scrubs"lol.

Makes sense now, thanks for connecting all the dots.  What a cool experience though!  Definitely will do that next year.
