The 2022 Bassmaster Classic takes place at Lake Hartwell in South Carolina, March 4-6. The tournament will feature the top five most successful bass anglers over the past year. We will be looking at Rick Clunn and Hank Cherry as well as Seth Feider and Paul Elias. We will also look at past winners of the bassmaster classic to determine who has the best chance for repeating as champion.
Rick Clunn
Rick Clunn, who has won eight Bassmaster Classic titles in a record time, has a lot of experience on the water. Florida resident, Clunn, has been competing in this tournament for 40 years and has won a record 28 championships. He also has a remarkable record of 11 top-five finishes in the Classic. He holds the record, at 75 pounds, 9 ounces, for the heaviest winnable catch.
Hank Cherry
Pro bass angler, Hank Cherry is the most recent winner of the 2022 Bassmaster Classic. He is a veteran of winning tournaments, and is currently trying to break the record for the third consecutive Bassmaster Classic win. He started fishing nine years ago. He is known for his ability in narrow water to limit creels and to wrestle hawgs. The bass fishing legend has teamed up with Hobie Eyewear to create the ultimate polarized fishing sunglasses.
Paul Elias
Elias is a prolific tournament angler, having won six tournaments in his 42 year career. The kneel-and reel technique was introduced by Elias, and it is used to catch large bass. He also set the record for the largest five-bass limit tournament weight during the 1982 Bassmaster Classic. Elias was also the Elite Series heavyweight champion for several years.

Seth Feider hails from Minnesota and qualified for the Bassmaster Classic by finishing strongly in the Elite Series points competition. He was in the top 25 by Sunday's end and weighed a 5lb 15oz Hartwell-toad on Sunday. He's been consistent and should be able compete for Angler of Year titles in the future.
Ashley Hackney
Tomorrow will see the MLF world championship tournament begin on Lake Nacogdoches (a 2,212-acre lake located in East Texas). Hackney believes it's possible to catch smaller, trophy-sized fish in these waters. Hackney had a piece left on her front porch, but it was gone during the competition. Here's why.

He is ninth among Elite anglers with a career average bass weight at 63 pounds. He also has fished eight Bassmaster Classics, five Forrest Wood Cups, and a total of five Forrest Wood Cups.

FAQ
Is it safe and legal to eat fish caught from another source?
Always ask your seller where you bought your fish. If the fish has no expiration date, then it's probably safe to eat. If the fish smells or looks bad, you should not eat it.
What type of fishing permit do I require?
You must have a fishing licence if you want to fish in state waters (e.g. lakes, rivers, or bays). A valid fishing license is required by state law for anglers before they can fish. If you plan to fish within federal waters (e.g. Great Lakes, oceans), a license is required. You do not require a fishing licence to fish in federal waters. You must check with your local authorities if you plan on taking any fish home.
How can I bait my hooks
Your hooks will be baited by attaching a piece if meat to its end. Then tie the meat around the eye of your hook.
What is the maximum amount I can expect to spend on fishing gear
You don't necessarily have to spend a lot on fishing equipment. There are many inexpensive options available. You could, for example, buy a cheap reel and line. Or you could invest in a quality rod and reel set.
Statistics
- About 40 percent of all fish are freshwater species. (takemefishing.org)
- You likely have a fish hooked if the bobber moves erratically for over 5 seconds. (tailoredtackle.com)
- Orvis, Simms, and Fishpond have been making some of the best packs and vests for a long time, and it seems like 90% of the anglers around the area use these brands. (troutandsteelhead.net)
- To substantiate this theory, Knight attempted a systematic inquiry by considering the timing of 200 'record' catches, more than 90 percent were made during a new moon (when no moon is visible). (myfwc.com)

How To
How to Fish in Freshwater
Freshwater fishing can be described as catching freshwater fish from streams, lakes, rivers and ponds. Bass, catfish, crappie and trout are the most commonly caught fish. There are several different methods used to catch these species of fish. Casting, trolling and spinnerbaits are some of the most popular methods to catch these species.
Finding a good area to catch any kind of fish is the first step. This often means finding a spot close to your water source. Next, decide what type of equipment to use.
If you plan on using live bait, you should choose something that looks like food to the fish so they will bite at it. Live bait includes worms, minnows, crickets, frogs, leeches, bloodworms, grasshoppers, and other small insects.
Artificial lures include baits made from plastic, wood, feathers and metal. Artificial lures come as many styles and sizes. They imitate natural prey items such as minnows, crawfish, shiners, grubs, and other aquatic animals. Many people prefer to use lures because they don't require much skill to cast them into the water. Once they have hit their target, lures are simple to set up and retrieve.
Casting is a great way to learn if you don't want to use live bait, or just want to experiment with new techniques. Casting is one of most effective ways to catch fish. Casting is easy and requires no special skills.
You will need a rod, reel and line. A simple pole can be used to cast. In order to cast you simply hold the rod vertically above the surface of the water. Then you slowly lower the tip of the rod until it touches the water. When it touches water, the line begins to unwind from its reel. When the line reaches its full length, you let go of the rod and watch the lure fall back into the water.
Trolling is another method for catching fish. Trolling, which uses a boat and lures to move through the water, is another method of catching fish.
Fishing is fun, rewarding and enjoyable. There are many different types of fishing available and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Some methods are easier than others, but they all require practice.
