Pipkens culling up

Chad Pipkens was landing a cull fish when we pulled up to him, and after shooting some shots of him releasing a bass we joked about him hooking the fish while I was too far away.

“I’ve caught 10 fish in a row,” Pipkens said. “Just nothing big.”

On his next cast, the Elite Series veteran bowed up on what turned out to be a 3 1/2-pounder – allowing him to cull up again.
