BASS announced the cancellation of the first day of competition

Nov. 5, because of unsafe weather conditions. The remaining two
days of competition, set for Thursday, Nov. 6 and Friday, Nov.
7, remain as previously scheduled.
On Tuesday, tournament officials cancelled official

of more than a $64,000 Skeeter/Yamaha boat package. The anglers
will also be competing within one of six geographical divisions
for a coveted Bassmaster Classic berth. The top finisher in each
division will become part of the 51-angler field for the Feb.
