The 2015 Bassmaster Classic will go down as the coldest in 40-plus year history of the event. It was nearly 10 degrees at takeoff on Friday morning. By Sunday morning, the mercury had risen to the mid-40s for blastoff as the top 25 anglers spanned out across Lake Hartwell one final time.
Here are some images from the water on the final morning.

Awesome, Ashley.
