A popular saying goes "there are lies, damn lies and statistics." Here are some statistics that offer a precision look at what's going on at the 2011 Bassmaster Classic on the Louisiana Delta.
The fishing's good! The Delta is on pace to produce 1,482 pounds, 5 ounces of bass. That would be third best all-time behind 2009 (Red River, La.) and 2006 (Lake Tohopekaliga, Fla.).
The average weight brought in by a competitor was 11.11 pounds — fourth best all-time, behind the Red River (2009), Toho (2006) and Alabama's Lay Lake (2007).
