But part of Scott's brilliance is his persistence. He stayed with the idea, and it helped light the fuse that ignited the explosion in bass fishing. The site of the event no longer is held secret, because it's too huge to hide. Over the years, it has played in increasingly larger venues, and this week takes a big step to a major tourist city and a world-famous building. Now you wonder just where it's going from here.
All events are free unless otherwise noted.
Fishing contest for children. Pre-registration is closed, but some spots will be open at the event. Both open to the public. Shuttles will run between Convention Center and Superdome beginning at 11 a.m. Launch 6 a.m.
