Toyota Texas Bass Classic

Well it sure has been a busy couple of weeks! A couple of weeks ago I got to go to the Toyota Texas Bass Classic at Lake Conroe in Conroe, TX. This was kind a new for me since we were not putting the tournament on just doing all the production for it. It was nice to see both side of tournaments. When we put on a tournament we do it from registration to weigh-in so it was nice to have someone else do all the planning. They started with the Top 50 Pros in Bass Fishing-15 from FLW, 15 from BASS and 15 from PAA with 5 sponsor exemptions. It was a 3 day tournament starting on Friday and ending on Sunday with only the Top 10 fishing. Another thing I really liked was take off was at 8 every morning which sure does beat 6. They had concerts each night after weigh-in and we had all access passes so that was awesome. I'm usually not a huge groupie kinda of girl but I do really like Dierks Bentley and he was there Friday night!!! Here are a couple pictures from his awesome concert. I fully used by pass to get as close as I could :)

Friday the weather was so pretty sunny and warm well that quickly changed Saturday and Sunday. Saturday it rained all day. I light to medium no lighting rain and a cold wind. After being a wet mess for most of the day we decided not to stay Saturday night for the Gray Allen concert. But before we could leave we had to get the camera off the jib and make sure the jib was safe for the people in the crowd. Sounds so easy right.....wrong. Image it has rained all day so it is a muddy mess and everyone has being drinking since noon.So the jib is roped off by a tiny piece of rope and there are thousands of people. First the drunk girl next to us kept getting inside the rope and I bet I told her 5 times to get out and she was like oh other side of the rope ok. Then another drunk girl passed out and they had to call the EMTs right next to us. after that another teenage non drunk girl got hurt and we had to lift her over and out. Then two grown drunk men tried to start a fight with a teenage boy and his girl. Finally we got everything off the job and security to watch it. It was a crazy drunken mess and I'm so glad we got to leave!!

Sunday was a fun day but also cold and rainy. Jake Owen was the entertainment Sunday night so that was not to bad ;).

Congrats to Brain Thrift for winning the 2012 TTBC! I hope we get go back next year cause it was a interesting fun adventure!
