Felix dubbed the “Sleepy Assassin”

Earlier today during the morning segment of Bassmaster LIVE, Mark Zona referred to Austin Felix as the Sleepy Assassin during our Skype. 

Felix may come at you with a slower pace but dont be fooled. On the water, the 13 Fishing Pro has one speed … wide slam open! Whether its skipping docks, working a jig or running his Phoenix Mercury across Chickamauga Lake, Felix is on the go, Jack! 

During our last run, we had baits flailing about in the floor, scissors bouncing around and I even donated a Yeti cup to Tennessee River fishery; however, that hasnt slowed down the leader in the Bassmaster Elite Series Rookie of the Year standings.

With just one keeper in the boat, Felix know hes got to work fast with the shortened day. He has caught two nonkeepers and he lost one, meaning hes around fish. Getting them to eat and in the boat has been the challenge.
