Lake Hartwell to host Bassmaster Classic again

Upstate businesses are anticipating an economic boost when the Bassmaster Classic returns to Lake Hartwell.  The major fishing tournament returns to the lake in February of 2015.  LakeHartwell last hosted the Bassmaster Classic in 2008.  Since then water levels have risen on Lake Hartwell, which already has a great reputation with world-class anglers. As part of the competition, anglers will bring their catches to the Bon Secours Wellness Arena for the weigh-in.  The event is expected to attract not only fishermen but also families for the three-day tournament.
