DURANT, Oklahoma – It was dark as pitch when we made it to the ramp for Day 1 at BASSfest this morning, but like moths to a flame, we headed straight to the Hulk-green glow of “Jersey Boy” Adrian Avena’s BassCat Eyra.

If you’ve never made it out to an Elite Series launch, you probably can’t picture what I’m talking about: Avena’s 2016 Toyota Tundra and BassCat comprise one of the sickest truck/boat setups on tour.

But don’t just take my word for it! Check out this gallery of Avena’s Crossed Industries decked-out rig, from the lit-up Rigid Grille on the front of his Tundra to the lower unit on his Mercury 250 ProXs. We’ll be shooting a “Cribs”-style tour of Avena’s rig this week, watch for it here soon!
