Bass Tournament News

For Keith Combs, a 2011 Bassmaster Elite Series rookie who has now qualified for his second Classic, the 2010 Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Central Open on the Red River was at least good practice. Combs finished fourth in that Open, which, incidentally, was won by Chad Brauer, son of 2012 Classic qualifier Denny Brauer.

And although it can’t be counted as being on the professional level, Brandon Palaniuk’s Red River history is so positive, it can’t be discounted either. Palaniuk won the 2010 B.A.S.S. Federation Nation Championship on the Red River, an accomplishment that sent him to 2011 Classic, and launched his Bassmaster Elite Series career.
