We've heard of feeding bass, but this is ridiculous.
A couple of years ago, Elite Series pro Jason Williamson was fishing around a dilapidated boat dock when he picked up something strange with his Carolina rig. It turned out to be a fork.
CALIFORNIA VACATION
What does an angler do after winning his first major BASS tournament and shattering the all-time BASS four-day weight record in the process?
If you're Steve Kennedy, you hang around for more. After the completion of the third event of the season on California's Clear Lake, the Auburn, Ala., angler, who took home $110,000 with the win, decided to stay in California.
Kennedy achieved two prized accomplishments in his more than one-week stay in California. In addition to the new BASS record, he caught his first bass weighing more than 10 pounds.
"We took a break for a couple of days," the 2006 Rookie of the Year said. "It was a great opportunity to enjoy California. Clear Lake is such an amazing fishery and I have never seen a lake like that one."
DID YOU KNOW?
Texas (12) and Alabama (12) are represented by more Elite Series anglers than any other state. Florida (11) and Oklahoma (9) follow.
IF I HADN'T BECOME A BASS PRO
Pro Jeff Connella would likely be working more hours as an engineer. The Louisiana angler has a degree in civil engineering and currently works for the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development.
THEY SAID IT
"The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that we truly love to fish. Dedication is the key to longevity in this sport. I've always said that I fish for the right reasons and that's because I have a passion for the sport of fishing." Gary Klein on his love of competing in the sport of bass-fishing.
