![âBringing the Bassmaster Classic back to the Upcountry of South Carolina was an easy decision,â said Bruce Akin, CEO of B.A.S.S., which conducts the event. âDespite record-cold temperatures when we were there in February 2015, fishing fans turned out in force. Our attendance of 103,000 those three days marked a 40 percent increase over the 2008 Classic and was one of our biggest turnouts ever.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/08aa_mitchell.jpg)
![âWe expect next yearâs Classic to be even bigger and better â and warmer,â Akin added, noting that the fishing competition will take place almost a month later in 2018 than during 2015.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/08b_mitchell.jpg)
