The LaBelle’s Rainy Lake Fall Bass Classic is taking place this Saturday, Sept. 26, with COVID-19 restrictions in place.
Dale LaBelle is taking all the necessary precautions.
There are 33 teams signed up to far for the one-day tournament; that’s down from the usual 50 teams, because several regular teams from the States can’t compete each year. LaBelle shared with me the anglers are “more than pleased,” to take part in this annual event.
There will be no weigh-ins for spectators. The boats start leaving at 8 a.m. and weigh-in begins at 4 p.m.
Here’s wishing all anglers a great “weigh in” and LaBelle and his crew a successful Bass Classic.
