Moore, OK – From the moment that B.A.S.S. announced this past January that the 2015 Bassmaster Classic would return South Carolina’s Lake Hartwell, Alton Jones openly stated that qualifying for the championship event was at the front of his mind.

The last time the Classic was contested on Lake Hartwell in 2008, Jones posted a victory by patiently crawling a jig across the bottom in frigid water temperature to the tune of 49 pounds, 7 ounces of Lake Hartwell bass. He outdistanced his closest competitor, Cliff Pace, by over 5 pounds.

“The reason that we all fish is so that we can qualify for the Bassmaster Classic and have a chance to win that tournament.  Having won it in 2008, I was certainly hoping to get a chance to fish it on Lake Hartwell again,” explained the Texas pro. Read More
