Watching Russ Lane, he's the first angler that's doing something a little different. He has a spinning rod out and is occasionally casting to deeper rock points with a shaky head....
We battled 2-footers in the river heading south until we found Russ Lane. He says he has four fish for around 11 pounds. He's switching between a jerkbait and flipping plastics around...
So we found our way out of the reed maze and came upon Kevin Short. He's making short flips to the edge of the grass he's boated one fish so far, maybe 2 pounds.
This section of the river looks more like the Louisiana marsh than the Lake Havasu I was expecting. We are trying to hunt down Rojas, but there are nondescript, 2-foot wide channels...
As Walker set the hook on what ended up being a piece of grass, Dean Rojas pulled into the little bay we are sitting in and continued to idle through a very narrow cut of tules. His big...
We moved from Lane to David Walker, who is maybe a half mile up the river. As soon as we approach, Walker sets the hook and lands his first bass of the morning. "That's something...
Bobby Lane just put down his Power Poles. The spawn is not completely done here and could play a role in the outcome of his derby. Evidently, the fish wasn't big enough to spend time...
Bobby Lane is on the board! He just flipped a 4 1/2-pound largemouth in the boat. Steve Bowman was clicking away with his camera ... just to realize he forgot to insert a memory card. The tules...
We shot north from the launch. Only a handful of anglers followed suit. Both Bobby and Chris Lane are in the area. Although Bobby is focused on flipping shoreline vegetation, it's...
Caught up with Mike McClelland at the dock before launch. He shared with me the bait he will use for his first cast of this derby. It's a Spro Rock Crawler crankbait. "A little...
The St. Lawrence River, otherwise known as the Thousand Islands region, is one of the best bass fisheries in the nation. It ranked No. 11 on last year’s 100 Best Bass Lakes list published by...
Heading back to the launch I ran into the only angler fishing the northern half of the lake. Actually, Rick Clunn didn't even burn a gallon of gas before he started fishing. He's...
I just heard from our photographer that Takahiro Omori is sick. He's having to fish laying down on the deck of his boat and leaning against his butt seat. Omori has one 3-pounder...
Evers has spent the last nine minutes zig-zagging the ledge looking for his school of fish. Finally, he shuts down the big engine and picks up a rod. His approach is different, though....
Edwin Evers is still fishless. But he is in good spirits. "I didn't even get a bite yesterday until 1 o'clock," he said. He just picked up a spinning rod and is throwing a finesse...
Mike Iaconelli just made another move, running about a half mile down lake. From his new spot, we can see KVD and the multitude of boats surrounding him. He starts here with a deep diving crank. We...
