Here at B.A.S.S. some of us are already thinking about the 2017 Bassmaster Classic in Houston, Texas, with the fishing on Lake Conroe. We had a crew doing a site survey this week, including checking out Minute Maid Park, home of the Houston Astros, and the site of the upcoming Classic weigh-ins. Below are photos and video of the trip, including B.A.S.S. co-owner Jerry McKinnis throwing out the first pitch. He’s still got a little zip in that arm!
