Let me shed some light here..... The ultimate decision is on what city puts up the most $$$$$$$$$. The Classic in Florida this past February was a joke. The locals didn't even know that it was going on. For example, the taxi's in all cities have a list of events that are happening so they can adjust where the most people will be located. The taxi's around the Classic site didn't even know it was going on. What I'm trying to get at is, they are going to pick locations that give them the most $ and the most press.

I do agree though, Lay Lake is Lame. Put blindfolds on the guys and ship em off somewhere. That way it's not who gets the best information but who's the best at finding fish right away.
