The inaugural PAA All Star Series event begins today and runs through Thursday at Texas' Lake Ray Hubbard. The lake, which will be a new venue for most of the field, impounds the East Fork Trinity River near Dallas and covers 22,745 surface acres.
The 50-angler field has practiced for 3 days under extremely windy conditions, where are forecast to continue through the event.
"Practice wasn't very good for me and I don't feel like I really accomplished anything," said Bassmaster Elite Series pro Ott DeFoe. "The wind has played havoc with everything and it's been hard to fish and hard to get around.
"There might be a few fish still spawning, but it looks like they're pretty much done. You talk to some guys who say they aren't catching anything and other guys are talking about 20-pound bags. I think (the weights) are going to be pretty spread out."
Weigh-ins will get under way at 3 p.m. each day at the Bass Pro Shops in Garland. For a list of anglers who qualified for the event, click here.
