The B.A.S.S. Federation Nation and the Bassmaster Classic go back a long way, almost as far back as the first Classic.
B.A.S.S. Federation Nation competitors must work their way up through multiple qualifiers to compete in the championship. The ones who are going to the Classic are the best of the best.
With six B.A.S.S. Federation Nation qualifiers determined last Saturday, there’s only one seat left on the bus to the 2012 Bassmaster Classic.
