Rookie of the Year

At the start of the 2012 Bassmaster Elite Series, I, like all the other 99 anglers, set a goal of making the Bassmaster Classic. I figured that if I could do that the Rookie of the Year title would be a good possibility, too.

How-To

Catching the current

David Walker thinks many anglers make a mistake when trying to take advantage of summertime current flows in lakes like those on the Tennessee River chain.

Making the right decision

Few things in life are as satisfying as making a major decision correctly. It creates a kind of inner peace that can’t be duplicated by anything else.

Cast your All-Star vote

Eight Elite pros earned their way into Toyota Trucks All-Star Week set for Sept. 20-23 out of Decatur, Ill. Now fishing fans can cast their votes for four more Elites they believe deserve to be in the 2012 postseason.

Alabama Bass Trail: Lake Jordan

This 6,800-acre impoundment on the Coosa River has more than 188 miles of shoreline and is located about 25 miles north of Montgomery in central Alabama.

Congratulations to all

I want to say congratulations to everyone. Boyd Duckett, the winner on Oneida, the 2013 Bassmaster Classic qualifiers and the 2012 Bassmaster Elite Series Rookie of the year, Brandon Card, all did one heck of a job this year. But, in truth, this week is all about Brent Chapman, the 2012 Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year.
