We do not want to undermine the damage caused to Lake Hartwell in South Carolina for the reason that the Bassmaster tournament is coming to Lake Martin. We hope everyone is safe and they can recover from the flooding caused by Hurricane Helene.
However, Alexander City is blessed to have the opportunity to host a tournament of this caliber. It has been six years since the last time Bassmaster has been in the area and although the city has had to quickly adjust to the amount of people that will be coming in, everyone is ready for the growth that it will have.
