Steve Bowman and I are spending time with 48-year-old Texas angler Albert Collins. He qualified for the Classic by winning the B.A.S.S. Nation Central Division. This is his second Classic. He made it into the 2013 Grand Lake Classic by winning the Weekend Series.
That’s impressive, making the Classic two different ways.
Collins is not happy with his morning so far. No fish in the livewell yet. We learned Collins had vehicle issues last night and spent part of the evening working on his truck. Not the kind of distraction any angler wants during the Classic. Collins had 6 plus pounds yesterday, so he needs a strong day to fish on Sunday.
