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
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. – Winyah Bay
2016 Elite Series Winyah Bay Georgetown, South Carolina 83rd Place / 5 fish, 12-02 I was excited to compete in a tournament on the Winyah Bay system, a place that few anglers on the Elite Series had ever fished before. It was a blank slate, but it also presented what seemed like endless miles of water, […]
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. – 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 […]
