| Sounds like a tremendous opportunity for weekend anglers to take their
shot at the big time. Some nice purses and great venues. Thanks Warren.

| Once again the mid-west gets the shaft from B.A.S.S I don't
understand, it, I wonder if they base it on magazine subscriptions?
Oh well, it will make it that much sweeter :-) haha |

| The last time BASS was on Lake Minnetonka in Minnesota they were treated
like illegal immigrants by the rich & snobbish on that lake. I was there one
day and talked to some of the wives on the dock waiting for the weigh in.
Mrs. Woo Daves told me they were harassed by local police and water patrol.
Even traffic stops where cops asked to search their boats. There were a few
other stories but my memory is fuzzy after that many years. ;-) Joe Z. "Chris Rennert" <crennert@new.rr.com> wrote in message

| Wow, I am not saying that it isn't true, but that doesn't sound like
Mid-Western people. Then again I really wouldn't know because I guess I am
not an outsider.
That cannot be the reason though, hell they get shot at in Louisiana :-). We have so many big watersheds here such as the Winnebago chain that can
turn out 15lb 5 fish limits , Madison chain, which I have seen turn out 20lb
limits. And then of course you have Green Bay (Sturgeon Bay) and that is a
smallmouth factory where if you don't have a 4lb average limit you might as
well not weigh in. It is not like we don't have the facilities to host a
big tournament, maybe it is just to far off the beaten path, but that logic
is flawed because the go to Lake St. Claire in Michigan. Really we also
have the Mississippi river which turns out really good limits. I think they
let that Chicago Classic turn them off to this area. It is not my fault the
wind blew out of the east for 3 days at 15mph.
Oh well, it just sux that I will probably have to move south (nothing
against moving south, I just love it up here because I have my steelhead
fishing as well) to pursue that dream.
oh well, Chris |

| Has nothing to do with turning in big bags of fish Chris..Remember the
Classic will be held in Pittsburgh next year. They will be lucky to weigh a
5 fish limit for 12 lbs from what I hear.. That should be a doozy!!! |

| Right Randy, I am just trying to put myself in their shoes. I am guessing
that it has to be how popular the B.A.S.S is in a specific region. Oh well,
I am not going to kill myself over it, I just wish that they would recognize
that this fishery is worth their time. Take care, Chris |

| Randy, a 12# bag is considered a good one in most Classics, including this
past year's. Warren |

| Warren, I wanted to get your opinion on why B.A.S.S don't come to Wisconsin &
Minnesota at all??? Chris |

| It's all about the cash that they're offered by various hosts Chris. I know
the last Minnetonka event was amazing... WW |

| Like I said they will be lucky to get that, I think it will be a bit less |

| A bit less? I'll say. I'd guess that tournament will be won with 25 pounds
or less (3 days). Warren |

| Is that a 12" size limit in Pitt? |
Chris
Oct 7
|
| Yup. Chris, those rivers wouldn't make the top 100 list of bass waters in
PA, and this is a very weak state in terms of quality big waters. Warren |

| Warren, Man, that sux, If we had a 12" size limit here on The Winnebago system I
would pull a limit every time out :-), as would everyone :-) Chris |
