Note from Conservation Director Chris Horton: "BASS is very fortunate to have partners like the National Assembly of Sportsmen's Caucuses, which provides a platform for reaching out to state legislators on behalf of anglers. This year, I was able to speak to legislators from numerous states concerning angler access issues. These people have the power to make a positive difference for anglers and hunters everywhere. With their help, we can secure access to our waters for generations to come.

Ever since he joined the pro tour in 1999, Michael Iaconelli has never forgotten his competitive angling roots, even after winning the 2003 Bassmaster Classic world title and now his more recent 2006 BASS Angler of the Year title. Last month, Iaconelli made a trip back to those humble roots when he made a guest appearance at a meeting of the New Jersey BASS Federation Nation.
It all comes down to one question. Does it have the guts? You're invited to prove it for yourself. Put the powerful all-new 2007 Toyota Tundra to the test — drive it, haul a payload and tow 10,000 pounds.
Of the two dozen Bassmaster Classics that he has fished and lost a streak that stretches back to his first in 1979 Gary Klein figures that he should have won perhaps three.
The Classic Jinx....Real?
