BassFan Senior Editor Jordan Wiggins claimed the final berth for the 2021 Bassmaster Classic by winning the Classic Fish-Off over the weekend at Florida s Harris Chain of Lakes. The slot could just as easily have gone to fellow Culllman, Ala. resident Wesley Sams, his partner in a successful run at the Team Championship the previous 2 days at the same venue.
The key to both victories was a single stretch of Kissimmee grass that had eelgrass in front of it at the junction of Lake Harris and Little Lake Harris. Wiggins and Sams played a game of paper-rock-scissors the night before opening day of the Fish-Off to determine who d get the stretch for the individual portion of the event, with Wiggins taking two out of three.
