Winter found me a short drive from the Bassmaster Classic held this year in Birmingham, Alabama. Personally, I am not that much into fishing tournaments but Trixie and my daughter Kellee, I mean Cricket, were all about going to the Super Bowl of fishing shows.

If you are unfamiliar with the format this is the championship tournament of the 2013 season and the top qualifiers from all the contests year-round get an invite to come fish for prizes and bragging rights.
