After bribing Bill, he finally admitted that they caught their fish on a Sky Blue Pink, Deep Diving Buzzbait in about 60' of water.

Congratulations Bill and Ronnie. Sounds like you guys had a blast. Pretty good weight considering how cold/windy it was.

Wow - too bad they weren't fishing the classic!

[BillDay]

We had a blast! It sure helps to have a partner like Ronnie Grant.

That 60 foot buzzbait pattern is a real winner for me this time of year as well.

[BillDay]

Yeah but you have to use the Float N Fly as a trailer!

I'll take two of those deep diving buzz baits if they are that good.

Steve Riley, is Midwest going to move classic location?
If so what about the lodging?

Glick,

No, Midwest Sportsman is NOT going to move the classic. We will hold our Classic on Kentucky & Barkley Lakes as we have for the last 5 years. We will launch out of Kentucky Dam Village & Kuttawa ramps.

Marshall County & Lyons County will have an ample supply of rooms for the teams to choose from.

Hope to see you at the classic.
