The full field is set for the 36th Bassmaster Classic, scheduled for Feb. 24-26 at Lake Tohopekaliga in Kissimmee, Fla. The 51 anglers will fish for a $500,000 1st-place prize – the largest ever in BASS history – which is part of the $1.2 million total payout.
“This group of anglers will write another page in BASS’s prestigious history,” said BASS VP and GM Don Rucks. “They will fish the first CITGO Bassmaster Classic held during the early spring instead of the summer on an amazing fishery that should produce spectacular catches.”
