The Professional Anglers Association (PAA) announced today the fourth event on its 2013 schedule will be held at Grand Lake in Grove, Okla., on Nov. 8-10.
It will be the final qualifying event for the 2014 Toyota Texas Bass Classic.
“We are thrilled that the prestigious PAA will be coming to Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees and the new Wolf Creek Park Facility," said Tad Jones, executive director of the Grand Lake Association. "This event will bring more professional anglers and continued nationwide notoriety to the region."
PAA president Dave Mansue said, “The PAA is excited to be heading back to Oklahoma for our first-ever event on Grand Lake. Known for its outstanding bass fishery, we could not ask for a better venue than Grand Lake to decide the final 15 anglers who will represent the PAA at the 2014 Toyota Texas Bass Classic on Lake Fork.
"The City of Grove and Grand River Dam Authority have built a state-of-the-art facility at Wolf Creek Park and Boating Facility. We expect some great crowds to turn out to see their favorite PAA, Bassmaster Elite Series and FLW Tour anglers competing there in November.”
Due to a scheduling conflict at the Broken Arrow, Okla., Bass Pro Shops store, the competition days for this event will be Friday, Nov. 8 through Sunday, Nov. 10 rather than a Thursday-Saturday schedule.
