Today's Top 3
Yep, April 1st. If you don't get that, can't help ya.
1. B.A.S.S. changes name.
B.A.S.S. announced a major sponsorship from Armour products and their Vienna Sausage line.
> "Vienna (pron. vie-ennee) Sausages have been part of bass fishing since Roland Martin jumped his first levee to get into a backwater," B.A.S.S. stated. "We're thrilled to have potted meats as the first things on our menu."
As part of the deal, the B.A.S.S. acronym will henceforth stand for: Bassin' And Sausage Snacks.
Elite pros are required to carry Vienna Sausages on their boats. Word is no one has chosen the chicken version (bleh). Not sure about this'n either:
2. Ike gives up…
…photo selfies, now only paints 'em:
Dude has talent!
3. Zona reveals twin brother.
How do you star in yer own bassin' TV show, co-host the Bassin'master TV show, get interviewed for countless articles and radio shows, and live a somewhat normal life? Answer: you don't…if'n yer Mark "ketchin' slouches" Zona.
Here's Zona1, his/their dad, and Zona2:
Yep, the only way you can be in two places at once.

Tip of the Day
KVD's favorite crankin' colors.
For some reason sexy shad ain't among them…NOT – haha!
1. Sexy shad – cuz it's all that: “This just flat catches ‘em."
2. Chartreuse sexy shad – "Great on a lot of the Tennessee River lakes that have a little color in it [cuz] it stands out a bit more."
3. Chartreuse/black back – Or officially, "black back chartreuse" cuz it's effective all over the country.
4. Green gizzard shad – Fer clear water: “This is a great natural-looking baitfish pattern. It can pass for a shad or bluegill."
5. Bluegill (#622) – "I like this when there are no shad in the lakes and the main forage is bluegill. "It’s got a blue patch on the front just like a bluegill, and is great around the spawn and the spring."
