More than 13,000 people packed into the Branson Convention Center for the all-day event preceding the weigh-in ceremony. Toddlers caught fish in a tiny tank while pros discussed lures with eager hobbyists. Vendors peddled rods and reels and spinners and swimmers and spoons. Country singer Moe Bandy sang the national anthem before a 15-foot blimp, shaped like a fish, floated around the room.
One by one, anglers grabbed their catches by the gills and held them up to the crowd.
There were gasps and cheers as the bass hit the scales and the weight was announced and recorded.
