My fishing career in 2015 is trending; only it's going in the wrong direction. My placement in the second #Bassmaster Southern Open event on Alabama River was a miserable 123rd place (out of 182 pros). The points I earned for this event put me in 127th place (top 60%) in Angler of the Year standings. The further you went down stream on the Alabama River the muddier the...

Bass fishing tips, biology, and plant identification from a tournament angler. Thursday, June 4, 2015. The Lull in Between Events.
