Glitz, glitter, prestige – it was all there for the 2011 Skeeter Bass Champs Central Championship September 10-11, 2011. Teamed anglers from all four Texas regions who qualified to fish converged on Lake Belton to grab a piece of the pie that included a brand new Skeeter ZX20 powere by a Yamaha 225 SHO.

Janet Parker has a clear shot at becoming the first woman to compete in the Bassmaster Elite Series.  From Little Elm, Texas, Parker said if she qualifies she won't hesitate to commit for the 2012 Elite Series season.

The two newest Bassmaster Classic rookies could hardly be more different from each other.  One, Andrew Upshaw, is 24 years old, just out of college and living in Hemphill, Texas, working an office job. The other, Kelly Pratt, is a 52-year-old veteran tournament angler and landscape professional from Williamsburg, Va.

Three men have been indicted by a federal grand jury for smuggling alligator gar in the Eastern District of Texas, announced U.S. Attorney John M. Bales today.
