2020 has been a trying year. With COVID and the State shutting down all fishing tourneys at public ramps, most tourney trails had to postpone their events. The end of the year has been crammed with tourneys. I appreciate everyone’s patience during the 2020 season. let’s congratulate these anglers in qualifying and moving forward to advance their dreams of fishing in the Bass Master’s Classic!
