Gearing Up - Classic Style

The Bassmaster Classic is by far the the premier fishing event of the year. The who's who among the fishing elite will be in attendance. It is the biggest show on the fishing planet. I am busy gearing up to attend the illustrious event and look forward to seeing a bunch of friends.

Another great advantage is it is in my home state of Oklahoma. Here are a few things I'd be doing if I was fishing on the biggest stage of bass fishing.

1) Soak it up - It isn't every day I would get to fish on this level.
2) Target pre-swawn fish - I'd be throwing a HAVOC The Jerk on a Petey Rig.
3) Bundle up - The weather this time of year you never know what Oklahoma will have in store
4) Pick Great intro music - These guys get to pick their music when introduced on stage to weigh fish. I'm pretty sure I would choose some Johnny Cash, AC/DC, fun., Metallica or Two Door Cinema Club
5) Never Give Up - These words were spoken infamously by Mike Iaconelli during his 2004 Bassmaster Classic win. This is by far the best advice one could give when fishing or in daily life.
