The Leash at the 2024 Bassmaster Classic on Grand Lake
We saw The Leash on several boats at the 2024 Bassmaster Classic on Grand Lake in Grove Oklahoma in March 2024.
The photos below show The Leash in action at the Bassmaster Classic.
Jamie Hartman
Jamie Hartman was running The Leash on a Nitro Z21XL Pro powered by a Mercury outboard. He pulled out early Saturday.
His boat was parked in a great spot to capture some of the background, color, and spirit of the Classic.
We also captured a nice closeup of The Leash on Hartman’s Nitro.

Precision Sonar
Precision Sonar, marketing The Leash, displayed one an outboard in their booth. Lora is shown talking to one of their representatives. Precision Sonar’s booth was wide enough we had to cut the outboard out and move it over to the right in the image above.
A Recreational Boat
We came in a day early on Thursday and noticed a recreational boat in the parking area running The Leash.
This Nitro was powered by Mercury.
Jamie Hartman Video
After we returned back home, we found a Video of Jamie Hartman speaking about The Leash in Precision Sonar’s booth at the 2024 Classic.
