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. 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 […]
OD on B.A.S.S. – Lake Havasu
2015 Bassmaster Elite Series Lake Havasu Lake Havasu City, Arizona 17th Place / 15 fish, 44-07 Heading straight to Havasu for an abbreviated practice period after a successful tournament on the California Delta, I was excited for another new experience. I knew Havasu is super-clear, but other than that I was a novice on the desert […]

2015 Bassmaster Elite Series California Delta Sacramento, California 37th Place / 15 fish, 44-03 This tournament wasn’t just my first time on the Delta, it was my first time fishing at all in the state of California. When I bought my first California fishing license it opened the door to a new experience, and that’s what […]
O.D. on B.A.S.S. Sabine River
2015 Bassmaster Elite Series Sabine River Orange, Texas 57th Place / 7 fish, 11-06 When we started the 2013 season on the Sabine River I finished 79th, which at the time was my worst Elite Series result. I’d locked myself into mediocre areas and as a result was unable to be competitive. This time I vowed […]
OD on B.A.S.S. – AOY Championship
2014 Bassmaster Elite Series Bays de Noc Escanaba, Michigan 43rd Place / 5 fish, 20-06 I’d fished Lake Michigan before this event, but never anywhere near Escanaba. I’d been to Green Bay, which is the same lake, but somewhere between 150 and 200 miles away, so as far as I was concerned I’d be starting […]
O.D. on B.A.S.S. – Cayuga Lake
Bassmaster Elite Series Cayuga Lake Union Springs, NY 71st place / 10 fish, 24-00 The official practice period was the first time I’d ever launched my boat at Cayuga, but nevertheless I felt like I had a pretty good handle on what to expect. After all, I’d been to Oneida before, which fishes quite similarly, […]
