The Battle is On!

Bassmasters Classic is On

     It began with an unexpected further delay than was said the previous day, but all in the interest of angler safety.  At around 10 to 13 degrees, the day was chilly and was windy at first.  But as the day progressed the wind let up -making for some good fishing.  I for one, believed it would have been slow and not so productive, but that's why I'm not out there and they are. 
     The first catch of the day came from the home town favorite, Casey Ashley, and then Randy Howell replied shortly after.  They seemed to have the pattern going when, bam...Ike Iaconelli came back with two back to back lunkers, skinny yet big bass on a jig.  This was impressive to say the least very impressive hook ups, as they always are with IKE.  The unofficial leader board had Takahiro Omori in the lead for a while then it became Casey Ashley then went to Dean Rojas.  So, there doesn't seem to be a definitive leader at the moment.
     The live coverage is only until 2pm central so we can't see the whole result.  Just have to wait for weigh-in.
