More Classic Places Settled This Week

Tension is sure to be high this morning at Oklahoma's Fort Gibson Lake, where B.A.S.S. pros have launched for the final Central Open of the season. At stake (beyond $50,000 or so and the title) are multiple Bassmaster Classic seats and opportunities for some pros to compete in the Elite Series next year.

The Classic equation is complex, with potential double and triple qualifiers who could provide Classic bids to Elite Series anglers who aren't even competing in this weekend's event.
Quite a few top Oklahoma anglers, including Fort Gibson expert Tommy Biffle, so it will be interesting to see how it all shakes out.
