As reported this morning by Shaye Baker, the 2023 Academy Sports + Outdoors Bassmaster Classic, presented by Toyota, has begun on the Tennessee River, and as usual, plenty of fans were on hand to watch things shift into motion.
The weather in Tennessee this morning was as pretty as a fisherman could ask for to start the Classic. Air temps were in the mid-60s already, with a predicted high in the upper 70s. Rain came down heavy during practice at times, and more precipitation is predicted for Day 2.
A front is supposed to move through the area, with an 80 percent chance of rain, a high of 75 degrees, and temps dropping a bit...into the upper 40s tomorrow night. However, the highs are predicted to bounce back on Championship Sunday, perhaps reaching the mid-70s.
According to this morning's reporting, three pounders are solid gold on this fishery. A 15-pound bag equates to a strong bag, and an angler really shows out with 18 pounds.
Here's where a win, or even just a good, strong finish can do more for an angler's career than any other thing.
