2017 A.R.E. Truck Caps Bassmaster Elite at Lake Okeechobee

The Elite pros will get a second Classic warm-up, Feb. 23-26, when the schedule shifts to Florida’s famed Lake Okeechobee. That fishery, nationally known for producing gigantic Florida-strain largemouth bass, last hosted an Elite Series event in 2012, when California pro Ish Monroe won with a four-day weight of 108 pounds, 5 ounces — the fifth-largest catch in trail history. The Okeechobee Tourist Development Council and the Board of County Commissioners are hosts.

2017 Bassmaster Elite at Cherokee Lake

The 2017 Elite Series schedule will open with the Elite Series’ first-ever visit to Tennessee’s Cherokee Lake, Feb. 9-12. Weigh-ins the first two days will take place lakeside, and the Saturday and Sunday weigh-ins will be held in Knoxville, Tenn., in the Convention Center. B.A.S.S. hasn’t visited Knoxville or the 28,780-acre lake in east Tennessee since the Bass Champs Invitational in 1981. The Visit Knoxville Sports Commission and the Economic Development Alliance of Jefferson County are co-hosting the festivities.
