Texas bass pro and certified Lake Fork one man wrecking crew Lee Livesay quickly went from unknown to angling phenomenon. He’s one of our sport’s greatest closers, and a threat to win just about anywhere, but at the 2025 Classic I tried to get some more info out of him.

I attended my first Classic in 2008, but only started really paying attention the last few years, and only viewed it as a business opportunity the last couple. I’ve set personal goals for this year’s event. Some are practical, some are just for fun, some are for my readers and all of them will make my experience even better.
