             Introduction
*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$





     Well one summer day while preparing to move I discovered a lone box with 
my name on it. I tore off the tape pulled out the old newspaper and there 
it was. A gift I received as a young boy many moons ago. A Sega  genesis with 
eleven games including this one, two controllers, a 32 bit adapter and all 
the fixins. Well aside from being a little dusty it worked just perfectly. 
So here it is my first pathetic attempt at an faq, I hope you enjoy it.

==========================================





Skull Lake
----------------------

First stop on the Bass masters Classic tournament tour Skull Lake with a 
current record Bass of six pounds one ounce. Here is the key to this lake 
stay away from the deep water via the middle of the lake. If you want to catch 
the big one and or any bass at all, fish the banks there you will surely find 
a victory waiting for you. For this lake you will need to place in the top 
five to move on. For bait and line on this lake I would recommend 10 pound 
test and a grub lure, Its seems that a grub lure works best on most bass. 
Here is a hint if you see a fish jump near the banks on the lake or any where 
else for that matter try casting there, there is most likely a bass waiting 
for you. And remember if you need any bait, line, or equipment at all be sure 
to shop at hanks bait shop.





Monkey Lake
----------------------
Number two on this years Bass masters Classic tour Monkey Lake
with a current record bass of nine pounds two ounces. You must place fourth 
here to continue. The key to this lack is to fish around fallen trees but 
not on fallen trees cause you'll lose your lure, and also try fishing just 
around the deep water. Stick to this and you will be sure to qualify for lake 
number three. For this lake I recommend the 10 pound test with a grub lure, 
cause if you try to use that 30 pound test you'll scare away the fish. And 
if you need any more bait, line or equipment shop Ant's bait store where 
everything's half off. Just Kidding




Deborah Lake
----------------------
Next up my personal favorite number three on the Bass Masters Classic tour 
Deborah Lake home of the Legendary Fishus Monstrositus. This lakes current 
record bass is sixteen pounds three ounces, you must place in the top three 
to qualify for lake number four. Now before you freak out over Fishus 
Monstrositus I got to tell you how to get him first. Okay to find him start 
at the dock and drive all the way to the top right corner of the lake there 
will be a cove with a deep spot in the middle. anyways at the bottom of the 
cove there will be a steam, I know it doesn't look like you can go down there 
but you can just work your boat back into it. know keep working it all the 
way down the stream you will find a small pond at the bottom of the stream. 
here is were it gets tricky switch your line to 100 pound test and your lure 
should be a grub and cast into the deepest part of the pond. You should see 
him almost immediately know keep him in sight and reel your lure in as close 
as possible 2 to 3 feet should do it. Know when he bites hook him and rapidly 
reel in (tapping B ) and you should have him. If you lose him don't panic 
just go back to the top right corner of the lake cast a few times, and then 
return back to the secret pond and he should reappear. Now once you catch 
him continue to fish deep water and also the banks to catch you limit and 
this lake is a walk in the park. For other bass on this lake I recommend 30 
pound test with a grub lure. And for that on stop shop, shop Dan's bait shop 
for all your fishing needs.





Mosquito Lake
--------------------
This years Bass Masters Classic Champion goes to the winner of this fourth 
and final tournament. The record bass for this lake is twenty one pounds four 
ounces. Ok this is it for all the marbles, the hole kitten caboodle, the hole 
shabang win this tournament to become Bass masters Classic Champion and host 
TV fishing hit "Big Ol' Bass". To win this mama jama you will need to combine 
those shallow water fighters with those deep water lunkers. Fish the banks 
and the deep waters, and don't just stop at your limit get the most weight 
possible per day you'll need it, Good luck and have fun. And bye the way don't 
forget to stop bye and say hi to your old friend Hank at Rob's bait shop.

I would like to think Black Pearl Software and Sega Genesis for creating such 
an enjoyable game, Gamefaqs for posting this guide. CJayC for his hard work 
and dedication to keeping this site going. I would also like to think my pet 
rock Butrid for being by my side, and my pet Ficus for making oxygen so I 
can breath. I would also like to think Bottlecap for introducing me to this 
site and answering any of my questions since I've been here. I would also 
like to think God and my Wife for being so nice to me. Thank you
