The Sooner Run starts today, and the pro anglers got a scene this morning that showed a lot of them what they will be looking forward to.

I have fished Grand Lake a few times in tournaments. Fairly clear water, rocky bottom, some hydrilla, a riverine lake. Don't look for massive sacks, LMBV hit the lake about 5-7 years ago.

Red Port 11 is friendliest Marina on the lake...gal they kept hitting on me ;D

As a point of trivia, anyone know what Red Port 11 means?

Congrats to Mike for the win.  Although LMBV hit this lake, it seems that the bass fishing is rebounding.

Dean Rojas got the big bass for the final day, which was 4-15.
