The Bassmaster Elite series is coming to Muskogee this week. Practice fishing is June 14th-16th and the tournament is 17th-20th. Oklahoma will be well represented at the tournament. There are 11 anglers, out of the 93, that call Oklahoma home.

This is the final regular season tournament, before the postseason starts. Edwin Evers is in 2nd in the points and Terry Butcher is in 6th place. They both live in Talala and are brother-in-laws. Only the top 12 anglers in points after this weeks tournament will make the post season. Jeff Kriet of Ardmore is in 14th and Tommy Biffle is in a tie for 17th. They both can move up into the top 12 with good finishes this week. After this tournament the top 37 in points will have qualified for the Super Bowl of fishing, the Bassmaster Classic. These four are a virtual lock for the Classic to be held in New Orleans, sometime in Feb. 2011.

Also competing from Oklahoma is Bradley Hallman, Kenyon Hill, Fred Roumbanis, Mark Tyler, Vince Fulks, David Smith, and Scott Ashmore.

Weigh-Ins are scheduled for 3pm Thurs-Sun at Three Forks Harbor. There are a lot of family activities scheduled throughout the day on Friday and Saturday. Hope to see some of you there cheering on our fellow Okies. I will be there everyday except Wed.
