Welcome to the Atikokan Bass Classic Web Site Tourney Date: Friday Aug. 15th & Saturday Aug. 16th, 2008 Introducing the 2007 Champions Cuffy Kehl and Shane Manford he Atkokan Bass Classic's move next year to Upper and Lower Marmian Lake (the Floods) was given a huge kick of support, when Atikokan Equipment Rentals owner - Paul Gronski, started off Saturday's weigh in by boosting next year's top prize by $2,000, thus making the booty worth $10,000. 2008 Prize Structure. He also offered that an ABC Competitor that catches a bigger bass than the one his wife Angie Bradshaw caught in the Floods this year (2007), which weighed in at a whopping 7 lbs 7 ozs, will be awarded $500. What follows is a point form synopsis that "puts you in" the Atikokan Bass Classic Event Tent during the 2007 Top Ten Weigh in: There was a big round of applause for the only all women team, (and this year the only women in the tournament) when they reported that they only managed one bass and a "big sloob". Emcee Jimmy Johnson hollered out, "two lousy stinking rotten looking bass," which greeted the ears of Garry McKinnon and Larry Ogden when they weighed in on Saturday. "We could have gone home at 9 o'clock and caught the same weight" [amount of bass] Garry joked. As it turned out, their two bass weighed a respectable four pounds. The "Wiens Team" told a "story" about how they missed the first two "giant bass" the first day of the tourney, because there weren't any hooks on their lures. Apparently while pre fishing they had been advised to take the trebles off their crankbaits, so they wouldn't "sting" the hawgs they hoped to boat during the tourney. But they forgot to put them back on!!! Click to view rest of top ten summary.

For this reason, we've included in chart form, some of the data we thought bass anglers would be interested in.
