B.A.S.S. announced today that the boat order for the upcoming Bassmaster Classic at Grand Lake is set.
As is customary, the reigning Elite Series Angler of the Year will be the first boat away from the dock at Wolf Creek Park in Grove, Okla. That honor belongs to Aaron Martens. He’ll be followed by defending Classic champion Casey Ashley.
The rest of the order was determined by random draw which was completed by a B.A.S.S. employee. The 55-man field will be split into two flights with the launch order reversed for day 2 of competition.
