New emcee to make his debut

Dave Mercer claims that emceeing the Classic in the New Orleans Arena is the first job he's ever studied for.

There's an old saying about the Bassmaster Classic that you can't win it in one day, but you can surely lose it. Just ask Basil Bacon, who blanked on the first day of the 1979 Classic then came roaring back to finish second, just three pounds - one good fish - behind Hank Parker.
