The 2017 Bassmaster Classic on Lake Conroe should be a record breaker. Here are some records, trends and milestones to watch for:
1 – Family Affair – Alton Jones, Sr., the first Classic winner rigged with a Power-Pole shallow water anchor in 2008, will compete in his 18th Classic against Alton Jones Jr. competing in his first.
1 – Brothers First – If Bobby Lane captures this Classic, he and Chris Lane (2012) would be the first Classic Champion Brothers ever. Good luck Bobby!
1 – Father/Son – If Alton Jr. wins, he and Alton Sr. would become only the second Father/Son Classic Champions. Guido and Dion Hibdon won in 1980 and 1997.
1 – Unique Qualifier – Ryan Lavigne is the first non-boater to qualify for the Classic as a boater by winning the Bass Nation Championship on Lake Conroe in 2016.
5 – Proud Texans – Nearly 10% of the field (5 of 52) – Alton Jones Sr., Alton Jones Jr., Todd Faircloth, Takahiro Omori, and Keith Combs get to compete in their home state of Texas.
8 – Power-Pole equipped Classic Champions in the past nine years. Let’s make it 9 out of 10!
12 – Former Classic Champions will compete at Lake Conroe. They’ll be rigged with 24 Power-Pole shallow water anchors. Almost doesn’t seem fair.
44 – Classic competitor boats equipped with 88 Power-Pole anchors. Once again, the odds are in our favor.
