hey guys, got this from a press release from BASSMASTER:
BIZZARE CLASSIC TRIVIA. On the final morning of the 1984 Bassmaster Classic, runner-up Greg South arrived at his best spot — a dock that had produced two limits of bass — to find it gone. The homeowner was in the water with a chainsaw reducing the old dock to sawdust. Four-time Classic champion Rick Clunn went on to win the ’84 edition of the Classic by the largest margin in history- 25 pounds, 8 ounces.
Nice bit of info. Keep it comming if you can.
Hey Tim at Least he was'nt shooting at him. You been down to Dale yet? We got some new lures u might not be able to live without.

you are right about that Jerry,
I remember being at the Classic in 1999 in New Orleans and after the official practice day Denny Brauer told a story to the media that a couple of good ole' cajun boys came flying up on him out on the water with guns drawn....they thought he was trying to rob their crab traps. Once Denny explained to them that he was in the Classic, they got a big laugh out of their mistake. Denny said he eliminated that water from his tournament strategy.
I will try to get out there today or tomorrow to check out the lures.
A few years later Gary Klein got shot at in the same area. It was the year that Ike won the classic.
ouch...... i think i'd have to beat that dock owner with my flipping stick......

Yeah I remember that...but I wasn't able to go that year. If you haven't been on the Louisiana Delta, that place is bizarre. It really looks like the stuff you see in the movies.
On the last day of the 1999 tourney, I was a press/observer for Alton Jones and we rode about two hours one way to reach his fishing spot. Even cut through a portion of the gulf to get into some freshwater on the other side. Only boat ride I have been on where I saw alligators and porpoises on the same trip. The fishing was great though.
