The answer is blowing in the wind
As far as finalist Edwin Evers is concerned, the answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind, as Bob Dylan famously sang. The question? Can Evers defeat Aaron Martens in the finals of the Evan Williams Bourbon All-Star Championship?

Martens optimistic for Final
Despite three days of tough fishing in central Illinois, Aaron Martens has something to be positive about: He left biting fish today on Lake Decatur. He’ll face off against Edwin Evers in the All-Star Final tomorrow.

Wounded veterans go fishin’ with the pros
While on a mission in Iraq in 2003, Sgt. 1st Class Gary Everett of Dayton, Ohio, was nearly killed when an ammunition dump was exploded by a suicide bomber. Staff Sgt. MarkDaniel Brasel of Toledo, Wash., an Army Ranger, came to his rescue.
Third time's a charm?
For the third time today, Gerald Swindle has come back to the culvert at Lake Shore Drive, and his bank-fishing young friend from earlier today is still here, but close to calling it a day as well.
DeFoe's misfortune
Ott’s misfortune continues. As he was flipping a creature bait down the bank, he got hung up, freed it, then on the ensuing cast laid into a nice keeper, but his line broke. Visibly shaken and dejected, DeFoe retied and kept fishing. This is hard to watch because if he’d fished flawlessly, he could be looking at 9 pounds or so, given the five he lost this morning and the keeper that just got away. However, seeing that there are fish in the 5-pound class, this matchup between DeFoe and Martens may be a one bite away.
Swindle keeps on fishin'
At 2:45 p.m., Gerald Swindle was back where he started fishing at 8:10 a.m., the Reas Bridge at the north end of Basin No. 5. Unfortunately for Swindle, the results were the same -- zero. So he's started moving south again, working some boat docks in Basin No. 4, getting closer to the check-in site with the clock ticking down.
