BASS Times

Dan Brovarney is a long time supporter of the Wisconsin Federation Nation, and he puts his money where his mouth is.

1985 Bassmaster Classic XV

Fishing his Carolina rig Do Nothing worm along a sandbar, Chancellor caught seven-bass limits during the first hour of fishing each of the first two days.

Classic Countdown: 25

One number that may haunt Martin is 25. That's how many times he qualified to fish the Bassmaster Classic and how many times he didn't win it.

Major League Play

Jelani "JJ" Hennessey hopes to fish all nine events in three Opens events as soon as his birthday comes around in January.

Classic Countdown: 26

In fact, Paul Chamblee may have been the best professional angler who never won a BASS event. He was that good.

1983 Bassmaster Classic XIII

In the toughest Classic to date, Larry Nixon outpaced a frustrated field. The Ohio River produced only five 6-bass limits over the three competition days.

1982 Bassmaster Classic XII

Elias fished deep running crankbaits near the bottom, holding his rod with all but the handle under the water, to force the diving plugs even deeper.
