Bassmaster Classic Heads to Grand Lake in March

The Bassmaster Classic returns to Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees in Oklahoma March 21-23, 2026.

Fifty-two qualifiers compete for the $1 million first prize. Fan expo opens March 20 at the BOK Center in Tulsa.

Grand Lake last hosted the Classic in 2016 when Edwin Evers won with 60 pounds, 4 ounces. Pre-practice reports suggest similar weights possible this year.
