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
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
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
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 […]
OD on B.A.S.S. – Bassmaster Classic
2016 Bassmaster Classic Grand Lake Tulsa, Oklahoma 25th Place / 11 fish, 26-02 I’d had a good tournament the last time that Grand Lake was the Bassmaster Classic venue, and I feel like I have a good understanding of the lake, but I knew that I’d need to adjust if I was going to match or […]

OD on B.A.S.S. AOY Championship Sturgeon Bay
2015 Bassmaster Elite Series Angler of the Year Championship Sturgeon Bay Door County, Wisconsin 7th Place / 15 fish, 45-04 We’d all heard stories about how awesome the Sturgeon Bay fishery can be. We’d come close to it a few years back when we fished Green Bay, but the off-limits line was drawn so that we […]
OD on B.A.S.S. – St. Clair
2015 Bassmaster Elite Series Lake St. Clair Detroit, Michigan 92nd Place / 8 fish, 24-05 I’ve spent more time in tour level competition on the waters in and around St. Clair than just about anywhere else. Between Erie, St. Clair and the Detroit River, I’ve fished two or three FLW events, two or three EverStarts, […]
OD on B.A.S.S. – Chesapeake Bay
2015 Bassmaster Elite Series Chesapeake Bay North East, Maryland 43rd Place /15 fish, 23-06 While I was excited heading into this event, that excitement was tempered by a tough practice. I thought it would play out a lot like the Potomac, where I’ve had some success, but in the end those tactics didn’t work. I […]
OD on B.A.S.S. Fest
2015 Bassmaster Elite Series Kentucky Lake Paris, Tennessee 17th Place / 15 fish, 59-03 I have quite a bit of tournament experience on Kentucky Lake over my years on the water, including one FLW Tour event, a number of local and regional championships, and numerous weekend events. The Tennessee River usually treats me pretty well, and […]
