Massive Storm Shortens Day 4 of the 2014 Bassmaster Elite Lake Seminole Event

BASS Report

B.A.S.S. personnel are preparing for the worst, and it looks like the worst will be hitting here in Bainbridge at weigh-in time - 1 p.m. ET. According to the timeline on weather radar, we'll be in the thick of the storm as the weigh-in begins.

The main weigh-in stage has already been disassembled and stowed away. The smaller sound  stage will be used for the weigh-in, just as it was at Falcon Lake on Day 4 last year, when a wind storm hit.

Every bassmaster.com feature, like First Look and Hooked Up, will probably occur in abbreviated form this afternoon.

2013 WON US BASS starts today! Check out Live Feed!

Las Vegas, Nev. - September 8, 2013 - Noted as one of the toughest, yet most "just" fishing tournaments in the world, the WON Bass Nitro Boats / Mercury U.S. Open bass fishing tournament will kick off Monday September 9 on Lake Mead, in the desert outside Las Vegas. Once again, the Costa See What's Out There Live show will be presented by Costa Sunglasses throughout the entirety of the three day event.

In its 31st year, the U.S. Open has proven to be an event that anyone has the potential to win because of the fact that Lake Mead presents anglers with the opportunity to catch fish in a variety of ways. Lake Mead also is the kind of fishery that gives few anglers a true home field advantage.

The desert conditions also present challenges to the anglers and their equipment. Past events have featured days eclipsing 100 degrees and afternoon monsoons that drop temperatures dramatically, bring high winds and torrential downpours to the event.

U.S. OPEN 2013 September 9 to 11 on Lake Mead

The WON US OPEN on Lake Mead is one of the most prestigious tournaments in the world. Check out who is fishing it this year.
