En route to his 20-pound bag yesterday, Florida native Drew Cook experienced a sight-fishing first – five bass on one bed. And he caught four of them.
“I pulled up on a bed that had a male and a female on it,” Cook said at Friday’s weigh-in. “I caught the male, then two more males moved up on the bed. I caught those two more males and the female. I caught four fish off one bed, and I left a three-pounder on it. It was unreal. I’ve never had anything happen like that before.”
Cook said the female weighed about 4 1/2 pounds, and all the others were 3-pounders.
“I’m definitely going back (Saturday),” he said. “There might be five more on it. Obviously, it’s like the Hilton or something.”
