Young cats and big fish

Elite Series pros gave a few memorable quotes to the crowd at the Day Two weigh-in at the St. Johns River Showdown.

St. Johns: Lookin’ at freakazoids!

I didn’t get off to a great start on Day One (43rd place with 12 pounds, 12 ounces), but I’m hardly out of it. I’m around enough big fish to still make a run at this.

KVD vs. db: The moment

Kevin VanDam has agreed to compete in a triathlon of sorts -- billiards, bowling and darts -- with outdoor writer Don Barone.

Evers has figured it out

Last year's St. Johns champ, Edwin Evers, said the game is much different this year, but he said it's click for him now and he knows what has to be done.

Elites: Still early?

We're just one day into the season, but we can already make some pretty definitive statements about this tournament and the 2012 Toyota Tundra Angler of the Year race.

How Derek got his groove back

Elite Series pro Derek Remitz, who described his 2011 season as “the worst of my life,” weighed in 17 pounds, 8 ounces on Day One of the 2012 St. Johns River Showdown Thursday for 14th place.

Welcome back, Skeet

Skeet Reese toted a bag full of bass onto the Bassmaster stage Thursday at the 2012 St. Johns River Showdown.

St. Johns: Fishing blind
