WALKER, Minn. — B.A.S.S. officials have canceled Day 1 of the Bassmaster Open at Leech Lake due to high winds, shortening the tournament to two days.
The decision was made after tournament officials consulted with the National Weather Service and determined high winds and the forecast of continuing high winds into the afternoon made conditions unsafe. Leech Lake and all tournament waters will be off limits today.
The full field of 203 boats will now compete Friday and Saturday and both the co-angler and pro champion will be crowned on Saturday.
