OD on B.A.S.S. – Okeechobee

by

2017 Elite Series Lake Okeechobee Okeechobee, Florida 2nd Place | 20 fish, 82-01 After a solid start at Cherokee, I wanted to keep the momentum going in Florida. Even though I’d finished 15th there in an Elite Series tournament in 2012, I’ve never considered Florida-style fishing to be my strong suit. Nevertheless, I enjoy the weather […]

OD on B.A.S.S. – Cherokee

by

2017 Elite Series Cherokee Lake Knoxville, Tennessee 10th Place | 20 fish, 62-01 I have a lot of history and a lot of positive memories on Cherokee Lake. It was the site of my first tournament when I was 9 years old. It was where I took a bass boat out for the first time by […]

by

2016 Elite Series – Angler of the Year Championship Mille Lacs Lake Mille Lacs, MN 14th Place /15 fish, 63-02 I’d only been to Mille Lacs once before this Angler of the Year Championship. That was for a Rapala media event and it was late June, when the fish were spawning or barely post-spawn. What […]

OD on B.A.S.S. – Miss. River Win!

by

2016 Elite Series Upper Mississippi River La Crosse, Wisconsin 1st Place / 20 fish, 63-10 Prior to this year I’ve had several good finishes in B.A.S.S. competition in La Crosse, plus a solid event in an MLF tournament there at this same time last year. It’s a place where I feel very comfortable. I love river […]

OD on B.A.S.S. Potomac River

by

2016 Elite Series Potomac River Charles County, MD 51st Place / 10 fish, 20-00 I’d visited the Potomac four or five times while fishing the FLW Tour, and while it had been a number of years since the last trip I still had fond memories of the place. It was the first tidal water I fished, […]

OD on B.A.S.S. Cayuga

by

2016 Elite Series Cayuga Lake Union Springs, NY 13th Place / 15 fish, 53-01 When the Elite Series visited Cayuga in 2014 I had a subpar tournament, but I knew that this season’s event was taking place at a different time of year, and coming off a good finish at Texoma I wanted to keep the […]

OD on B.A.S.S. Fest

by

2016 Elite Series              BASSfest Lake Texoma Durant, Oklahoma 5th Place / 20 fish, 56-11 Prior to BASSfest, I’d never seen or fished Lake Texoma. To be totally honest, I didn’t even know much about it because there hadn’t been any major events there in recent years. I looked up the […]

OD on B.A.S.S. Toledo Bend

by

2016 Elite Series Toledo Bend Many, Louisiana 14th Place / 15 fish, 52-11 My past tournament history on Toledo Bend included two good finishes and one poor one, so I was looking forward to this event. It has always been a good lake, but it was recently ranked the best bass fishery in the country and […]

OD on B.A.S.S. – Wheeler Lake

by

2016 Elite Series Wheeler Lake Decatur, Alabama 36th Place / 15 fish, 36-01 When we visited Wheeler in 2011 I finished 5th, and I felt like I had the bites to win. I’ve always felt that it was the worst lake on the Tennessee River, but the one that I like the best, if that makes […]
