The 2011 Bassmaster Classic starts this coming Friday on the Louisiana Delta. All the festitivities associated with the event will held be in New Orleans. The map above should give you an idea about how big an area these guys have to fish.

I had a great time talking to both John Crews and Rick Morris in previewing this year’s event. Crews will be fishing his fifth Classic. Morris just missed qualifying. He’s fished in four previous Classics. Neither fished the Classic in 2003, the last time it was held on the Louisiana Delta. I also asked both of them about the Northern Open event on the James in July. Morris said he’ll be fishing it. Crews won’t. I’m hoping to get out on the water with Morris during one of his James River practice sessions. Look for that in late June.
