BTL, coming at ya!

Good morning and welcome to another exciting edition of BTL Bass Talk Live where we are going to talk about Bass Fishing.

It is a brand new week and it is one of my favorite weeks of the entire season.

It's Bass Master Classic Week.

I think it's hard, I mean if you grew up in the sport of fishing, it's almost impossible.

Not to be excited about Bass Master Classic Week and then obviously as social media has evolved and developed over the years,

you get to watch how these guys are doing it.

In practice, there are three official days of practice.

They have been through the ringer as far as weather is concerned with cold water temps, rain, wind,

off day, I believe today.

What is today? Today's Monday?

No, today might be the final day.

I don't know how it works.

They got three days of practice and then off days and run through days and media days and then a final day.

And then the thing gets going.

One of the guys who has been there and done that,

and he's going to join me for today's show, the one and only Mr. Charlie Hartley from his home in Florida.
