In 1971, Ray Scott loaded the best 24 bass fishermen in America onto an airplane in Atlanta. They had no idea where they were headed. Once in the air, Ray told them that they were going to Lake Mead in Nevada, a waterway that none of them had ever seen before. They were headed to fish the very first Bassmaster Classic. The winner was our guest, Bobby Murray. His grand prize was $10,000. What was the second-place prize? It was a big fat zero. Yep! The first Classic was a winner-take-all affair. Unbelievable! Bobby Murray did a great interview with us talking about the event, his second Classic win in 1978 and his illustrious career in fishing.
