Fishing in this year’s WON BASS Pro-Am Championship was exciting.  The tournament (known as the “Western Classic”) is one of the West’s most high-profile events.  WON BASS does a great job hosting and covering the event (from a media perspective) and 2011 was no exception. 

This year the format and location was different.  Day 1 was on Lake San Antonio and Day 2 was on Lake Naciamento; both lakes are located in Central Coast California.

Well I’m happy to be going back to the Bassmaster Western Divisional for the third year in a row.  The California league has really been getting better and better and this year was the best turn out we’ve had in a long time. 

As the tournament came near, we realized the weather was going to play a major factor in this event.  Cold temps, high wind, and rain was in the forecast.  I can’t remember seeing so much wind and rain on a Southern California lake ever before!
