This is Passport to Texas

The annual Toyota Texas Bass Classic tournament raises funds and awareness for the work of Texas Parks and Wildlife. This world class bass fishing competition takes place Halloween weekend on Lake Conroe. Tournament Director Lenny Francoeur says if you can’t make it to the Lake, and you have an internet connection, you can still keep track of the action.

11— They can still check it out online and we’ll have a real time scoring function as well. So, you can check the website, and see exactly up to the second how every angler is doing and what
weight they have for that day. So, it’s a neat little feature.

Francoeur says there’s a special competition currently underway as a lead up to the Bass Classic, and a kick off to the ShareLunker season, which began October 1.

25— The TTBC has created the ShareLunker Club Tournament. It’s only on Lake Conroe and it’s going to be for three weeks. Anyone who’s interested in catching a bass over 13 pounds, and signs up
to be a member of the ShareLunker Club—it’s a hundred dollars, but you get tickets to the event and parking and other benefits—the largest ShareLunker caught on lake Conroe between October 1
and October 21 will win a hundred thousand dollars cash.
