CarlWBL Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Anyone fishing in the Classic this weekend? I'm not but I may head out to the weigh-in. I visited the HSOforum and it looks like the past three tournaments have been won by the same team. Very impressive. They must know a few spots that really hold pigs...Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonkaBass Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I will give it a shot, but haven't been able to practice like I wanted because if a stomach infection that I got. Man is it painful. I did make an effort to get out there today, but only fished for about an hour before the chills got too bad. I just hope I feel ok for the tournament.

jholland Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Tonka has been real easy to work with so far this year, and this is probably the tournament two anglers trolled by us asking if they could jump ahead since they were just looking (Not fishing) for an upcoming tournament.We've been doing real well on buckets so far. Tonka just has so much bass land to work with! So far this year I've landed two beautiful 5+ pounders along with probably about 30 guys between 1 and 3ish pounds. I don't think I'll head to the tournament, though. Never fished in one and don't plan on starting on a whim really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Central Bassman Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I would also love to fish it but im not a Tonka rat!!! I dont fish it enough to hang with some of them guys!!! There is a lot of money involved in this tournament and it should be a good weigh in to go and watch!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pherris Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I am fishing it. I was told there are over 100+ boats so far. It is a very well run tourney and should be a good time. The Minnetonka Bass Club does a great job. Good Fishing!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonkaBass Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Not good. I don't even know what place my partner and I got but we only weighed 17.48 pounds. It just kind of fell apart I guess. The day before we caught 6 bass over the four pound mark. 29 something won it I think. I was a fun time and a really nice day for fishing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daze Off Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Buddy of mine fished it and finished 2 spots out of the money with 20 lbs. Must've been a tight grouping at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluker Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Looks like the results are posted. They say "2007", but I believe it's a typo as there are 2007 results below as well. http://www.minnetonkaclassic.com/Results.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Central Bassman Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Thanks for the link!!! I looked at it yesterday but just looked at the top and thought it was last years yet!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangerforme Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Yep, Lee and Bird have something dialed in on Tonka in the spring. It really is amazing conisidering the quality of competition they face. In all the pictures from all the years they are always wearing dull green clothes, camo for sight fishing in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluker Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Spear, don't worry about it. Ike calls the rods I make "Ugly rods" that a "Monkey could make". So it's kinda like the pot calling the kettle black. Just ribbing ya ike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
